The thing I love about ddg is, it links to https versions of pages searched. For eg. Google will link to non https version of Wikipedia results, whereas DDG will link to the https version.

- noct 13y agoThe thing I love about ddg is they don't seem to do that horrible redirect on some results that Google does. I'll never understand why they do that; if you want to track links, send an async post when I click, don't add an occasional multi-second delay.
- evmar 13y agoIt's because browsers are unreliable about delivering async posts when the page navigates elsewhere. Some people proposed extending the web APIs to provide a reliable mechanism but it was shot down by complaints of "tracking". So now we're left with both tracking and horrible redirects.
