I use its app and search service and it consistently outputs better and faster than google.
Although I don’t use it personally I used google for a very short time in a professional setting, with high speed internet access, and the results and speed of delivery was trash when compared.
In another thread, a lemming mentioned they have improved on the privacy provided, after renegotiating with Microsoft.
Everyone here is saying this. Using Bing as an engine while maintaining peivacy doesn’t seem as much of a problem to me. Can you explain why pointing out that bing being under the hood is seen as a negative?

DuckDuckGo is not really much better. And it uses Bing as a backend. Gone are the days of reliable search engines.
Or DuckDuckGo, ecosia, bing, askjeeves, nexislexis, Qwant, altavista…
wow, I had no idea it still existed! I don’t think I’ve used it since it was altavista.digital.com
edit: it doesn’t, it’s just yahoo search now
I thought the same about askjeeves, can’t believe it made it this long
DuckDuckGo is Bing under the hood.

I’ve had the exact opposite experience.
Not doubting your word. How could we compare experiences in a somewhat reliable way?
Can’t we just shout at each other instead like civilized people?
Why? Shouting is painful to hear and a waste of energy.
It’s therapeutic.
ever try the duckduckgo app? I didn’t realize it existed until now.
II’m usually on firefox with adblocker, and just use duck as my default search, so the app seems unnecessary. willing to try it out tho
Yeah, it’s just a private browser. I use it along with Firefox.

DuckDuckGo is just Bing.

I assume because Bing gives the exact same spam results as Google. All of the seatch engines kinda suck nowadays.

DDG is a search engine without its own search engine.
