Serious Question: How is the DDG search structured? Is it a cosmetic skin over Bing, or is it aggregating from other sites like Yahoo, ecosia etc additionally? If it is just Bing under the hood, how does it exist as business entity. I am su

This is factually true - The exodus from Sun Microsystems started when the takeover news started doing the rounds. The OS team was a shell of what was before. Then Oracle further squeezed that division ~2015-17. All those remain are the swi
