Sometimes I forget that google is a searching engine, I’ve been using DDG for years now! :)
I can’t say I’m liking DDG. The first page gives me the same domain links. Like when I search for “eye washing gifs”, the first three links is the same website. Where I’d expect it to give me three separate websites (and combine searches).
It does that for a few searches.
But then again, I’m not even liking Google.
have you tried searchpage or searxng? i think they use google (while searxng also use other search engines) beyond the scenes.
I’ve been dogfooding Searxng for a week or so now and I’m sold on it over DDG and certainly over Google. Besides good results out of the box and being selfhosted so I have some search privacy (sorta), you can tune it to get better results for your particular situation.
Setup was a quick docker compose and env file, and then add it to FF with a rightclick on the URL bar to set it up in my search engines.
The best thing about ddg is that I can click on any of the result links.
In google I have to skip like the first 3 rows because they are all tracking ads and my pihole blocks them 😁
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve gotten fed up with trying to work with Google now. I’ve given up
Is Bing really that much better, though?
You can use a bang, !g , to get google results on ddg
That’s just Google with extra steps
