      Yes. It also has been shown that it uses Microsoft trackers making it a total lie that it’s respectful of its user’s privacy. On top of that they openly stated that they would be censoring (by deprioritization, so they say) any sites associated with “Russian disinformation.” And we all know what that means. And really it just plain sucks in terms of how well it works to serve you with results you’re looking for.

      Duckduckgo is a bad search engine. There are plenty of other good options without having to return to google. Examples: Brave seems to be pretty good and uses their own engine while Searx (searxng) is awesome ime and aggregates from a bunch of other engines.

        History doesn’t repeat but it sure as hell rhymes. There was a time in internet history, pre-Google dominance, when the advent of search aggregators ruled the internet landscape.

      I tried this search on another bing search engine (ecosia) and my first hit was a success. same with bing itself!

      on duckduckgo, I can confirm the op’s results. Nothing.
