minus-squareegerlach@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·10 months ago DDG has gone downhill in recent years. Not as much as Google though, so I’ve been feeling like it’s been getting better and better, but it’s just a comparative feeling.
minus-squareSquizzy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 months agoTo me it’s worrying because it is where Google was when I jumped ship for DDG. I am getting tailored results that I do not want. Everything I search even with location off gives me local to very local responses. If I open a link and then go back to the results page all the results have changed order.
