When I search "Baptiste Mispelon" in Google, the first three results are:
(1) Ad for Christianity
(2) GitHub Profile
(3) Twitter Profile
When I search the same thing on DuckDuckGo, the first three results are:
(1) Twitter Profile
(2) LinkedIn Profile
(3) GitHub Profile
I definitely think that the first couple of results on DuckDuckGo are as useful as those produced by Google, if not more so.
- Walkman 12y agoStrange, I don't see any ads at the top :O on Google. I have no ad blocker enabled.
- thescrewdriver 12y agoWell maybe they decided you weren't a good match for the ad after they trawled through all your email.
- pushrax 12y agoDo you have AdBlock or the like?
- gtremper 12y agoI didn't get an ad either. With my search order being Github, twitter, photos, linkedin.
- us0r 12y agoI got the same results. The images are quite random.
- dredmorbius 12y agoAdblock, do not track, ghostery, privacy badger, and Google's opt-out cookie are among the tools I'm aware of which may affect this behavior. It's complicated.
- justizin 12y agoGoogle may provide results that are more relevant based on you looking for someone you are in a community with, whose pages you are searching for are relevant based on searches you have made. This specifically relies on keeping information about you that DDG won't.
