DuckDuckGo

Duckduckgo is perfect for anyone who wants to get the big boy google off there backs. It runs at the same speed as google and has pretty much the same features of the google browser with less privacy concerns.

I have used this service for some years now. It is the only company that I would give top marks. More recently I found that they have an onion address which I now use. So this makes them even better. The searches always bring relevant results. Its always difficult to write lots about a company that is good.

[EDIT]

I have noticed of late, that their search engine in displaying results is not working properly. When one place a '-' in front of a word then one does not want to see that word in the results. What is happening instead is that one gets every search result with that word; this is an error, and its a general error.

People on this site claim that duck duck go steals their information and hacks into their account. This is not the case, these people downloaded something off the internet that led to duck duck go being installed. It's probably not a licensed, illegitimate program That infected their computer with Trojan malware. Duck duck go is a very sound company with the intention of keeping your privacy secure. I have been using them for over 2 years and had not had any problems. 100% recommend to people that value their security.

I really wanted this to work and I hoped it would be a good product. Maybe it is. In my case, it just isn't any good. I would be using any of my browsers, Firefox, Safari or Chrome and it crashes each one within 5 minutes of use.
I hope that you have better luck with it. Me, I am over it.

I am beginning to see very little difference between duck duck go and Google. I started using this search engine approximately 8 months ago and was very impressed with the information I could find that Google was burying and censoring. But as of late, I am seeing very little difference in the left leaning propaganda and censorship. I think I need a new search engine. Is there one out there with values and balls?

I've been using ddg as an alternative to google on my laptop for the last 7 years.
Not that good for anything non US.
I'm in England and if i wanted to know about a premier league footballer that got injured yesterday, DDG will give me some outdated info from 4 years ago or info about USA footballers.
Also, when looking to buy things, even though i have selected uk search, 70% of search returns are for US companies.
DDG: probably good if you live in the US, otherwise, very time consuming to find what you're looking for...
Nice idea though...

Used duckduckgo since its inception.
Compared to MS, Google it has many advantages.
Worked with technology for 40 years and know the marketing meetings, large corporates undertake to hook the public.

For example before 3G worked all attention was made to ensure smart phones would be addictave... because mobile coverage was already saturated. The IT world is the most irresponsible and conceited one you will encounter.So every individual has to ensure they are not conned.

As a professional writer sometimes using the Internet for research, I find duckduckgo produces the most harmonious search outcome. You get a variety of results. There is no spinning of findings according to your past searches. If you enter an ambiguous term, it lists multiple definitions for your selection before completing its work. It is fast. It is definitely supportedbut not consumedby advertising. This is a preliminary review, but so far it earns *****.

If you originally have trouble finding what you are looking for with duckduckgo, you can improve your searching strategies and get pretty good at it... there are lots of options available in the advanced searching. However if you have little or no patience searching and don't care about your searches getting logged or not and being traceable in realtime, this probably is not a good search engine for you.

I saw this app one day and checked it out and I've had it ever since. It has protected me from a Amazon scam (fake Amazon). The guy was trying to get in my ph and duck duck go would not let him. And the scammer wanted me to go down the street to CVS and use their internet. Well, I didn't go and he tried to call me back. I blocked him and reported it to the real Amazon. So I recommend Duck Duck Go!

This is a great webpage, very easy to set up. Gives you free rain of what you want to search up a great web page overall and it does not give me ads, the ads are one big reason that I installed this browser. Thank you duckduckgo.

Browsing is fine but where is my history? Before the 'upgrade' I could access my 'recents' for a quick connection. They were easy to delete. Now I have to input the full search enquiry-a real time waster

There are companies which pay people to write reviews; that's a fact because I have an acquaintance who did it for some months. I can't think why genuine users would be having trouble uninstalling DDG. I've done it several times with no problem.

DDG has never taken over as default browser and works great with Firefox.

If you want a browser to take over your life and your computer and send you endless pop ups, adverts and unwanted emails and matter of all kinds, use Google. I don't get any of that with DDG.

You may not like the interface or shorter (relevant) responses to queries but if you are happy with a clear, direct, advert and spam free browser, I would recommend trying DDG

I am completely against Russian state sponsored disinformation and last night Putin told me in my dream that he uses Duckduckgo as his search engine. I can't stand such disinformation spreading search engine and hence I am choosing to not use it.

Thanks.

These are the only search options I get. I searched for Nutter Butter Wafer cookies with 5 stores near me I wanted to see pricing for and all they showed me was EBay. Would be nice to get privacy and variety.

Search any of the 2020 democratic presidential contenders. You will notice that you only have to type the first name and at most three characters of the last name and the auto suggestions will show the persons name. All but one who is gay. Other search engines suggest his name with just his first name.

One of the worst search engines for searching... doesn't know Queen's English, so it's worthless outside America. And seeing it's American it's as thick as present "President".

I have been kind giving it one star, very kind & very covfefe.

This search engined scammed me. Everything was completely fine with google, but then duck duck go hacked into my computer. After that, everything moved as slow as molasses. Then, to my horror, duck duck go somehow hacked into my instagram account, sending everybody I know inappropriate messages. Please get this garbage thing off my computer. It is impossible to get off and I'm so disgusted at this site. I could literally write a ten page paper on how much this site is a scam, but I literally have to fix the mess they've created

Well, they had to go Mess with it and make it a lousy product. They used to give you the choice of maps but now they have some totally useless, utterly absolutely, can I make it more clear? Their "map" is a total joke. Give us back the choice of which preferred map we want to see. Also, I have to CONSTANTLY change my search back to safe since it CONSTANTLY changes back to moderate. Now, also Bing is constantly hijacking the searches. I blocked Bing because I hate it and it's creators and refuse to use any of their products any chance I get. Good Bye DuckDuckGo. Good try guys. Not really but... whatever.

I've loved using duck duck go, just knowing that it doesn't keep my searches unless I want to bookmark them is good for me. The oligarchical control of some providers in this field is nothing short of frightening to me. My business is my business we need to allow freedom and we need to unite against oppression.

All the time I got max of 2 pages of search results. And that is BS. I think, also I got tracked because if for e. Buy a shoes on one website then a day later i got suggestions on almost every website I visit for the same shoes. Crap

Isn't the whole point of this browser to answer question? For me everytime I ask a question it can never give me a clear answer, instead I must read 5 articles that never even give me a clear answer. These questions are not complicated! Although this browser provides more privacy, google does much better at its job. I do not recommend this browser.

One reviewer said duckduckgo search of GLD came back as god. False: Came back as GLD etf like it should. There is just too much to gain by Alphabet and Microsoft killing competitors as they have in the past. Google corrects typing, hides results, puts results in the back of their listing and puts titles on queries to favor their political party and products and services they sell. 427 Google visits to white house in first seven years of the last administration to control the world reason enough to use any other browser.
