Its a little interesting, I tried Bing for a bit to avoid Google's onerous privacy issues, and I gave up. I moved to DuckDuckGo, haven't been back. The results are usually more relevant for me and I don't have to feed the Big-G machine.
- mkr-hn 13y agoWhat privacy issues does Google have that Bing doesn't?
- bifrost 13y agoThere's a basically an open laundry list; its fairly extensive in terms of tracking patterns/usage to violating their own "don't be evil" policy. Bing doesn't have nearly as much paid placement, but that could be economic vs policy. Like I said though, I don't use either :)
- mkr-hn 13y agoThat didn't answer my question.
- blntechie 13y agoDDG uses Bing + Google + its own secret sauce. I tried DDG for an year and was fairly satisfied but it was a hassle to even use hashbang (!g) with suggest. So gave up and moved back to Google. And Startpage.
- omni_ 13y agoThe only downside to DuckDuckGo is the results are terrible -- I don't care the claims are, this search provider doesn't in the same league of intelligent search results as Google or Bing.
- bifrost 13y agoThat hasn't been the case for me, its often more relevant than when I'd been searching on Google. Like I said, I switched and haven't been back. I'm a lot more productive and the ads are much less intrusive too.
