I almost exclusively use Duck Duck Go (https://duckduckgo.com/ https://duckduckgo.com/) as an alternative to Google. The only time it doesn't give me the answers I need is occasionally for code / bug related searches, in which case I go back to Google.
- 616c 11y agoI have also noticed the more detailed a query for technical issues, bugs or combinations of software, I have to rely on Google as well. My workflow is similar to yours. I silently hope this is just a matter of DDG improving over time. But truth to be told, DDG is so handy with the shebang keywords, I search Google using it and only leave DDG in my Firefox search bar and specialize with !g !gv !gi as needed.
- Stoo 11y agoActually, yeah, whenever I need to search for something code related I don't go to Google, I just redo the DDG search with !g at the end. The shebangs are incredibly useful for that.
- _lce0 11y agosecond this. I've using duckduckgo for about two years so far, both in dekstop and mobile. This is a really google replacement, and we can search other sites directly with the shortcuts .. github? !gh wikipedia? !w youtube? !yt google? !g images? !i and there are tons of them!!
