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.
DDG does have its issues like giving me random news articles from my area if it cant find anything relevant…
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.
i am using a public instance right now, might host one in the future. its just been two days since i started using it and i am still trying to get accustomed to it.
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 😁
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
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve gotten fed up with trying to work with Google now. I’ve given up
