    What is that? Is that a meme or something?

    Either way, the solution for that is here. If you’re one of the poor souls that still enjoy using the Google Search, you can use Startpage, I guess.

      DuckDuckGo is not really much better. And it uses Bing as a backend. Gone are the days of reliable search engines.

      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

        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?

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

        That’s like saying Brave is the same as Chrome, just because it’s using the Chromium engine. DDG is not Bing. It uses Bing’s search engine!
