Apple held talks with DuckDuckGo to replace Alphabet's Google as the default search engine for the private mode on Apple's Safari browser, the Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the discussions.
For me, it finds smaller websites that usually contain the information I need, but aren’t SEOd that well so they don’t appear on ad-driven search engines. Also the programming lens is great
Hell no. Paying for something that’s the same as ddg. That’s a terrible idea, and the results aren’t any better, despite how much their marketing claims it to be and that smaller blogs show up more.
In this case you actually get more for free. Not to mention the paid service is a privacy nightmare since all of the searched are done through a logged in user. Which also means it’s incompatible with private browsing. But their marketing says “trust me bro”, while they’re selling you an overrated product. DDG even simply through a VPN is a million times more private then any logged in service. You need to assume if something is trackable, it will be tracked. Don’t follow marketing blindly.
Try Kagi. You may love it like I did.
Genuinely curious, what makes it so great?
