I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out . So is there a better alternative or is DDG still the best ?
Im curious, what made you decide to build your own solution to this and not use available implementations like https://docs.searxng.org/ or https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search?
