DuckDuckGo

Duck Duck Go is a very decent search engine. Unfortunately, it is being sabotaged by the internet monoply holder. I can say this b/c I am a witness... apps and sites that refused to work for me on my smartphone while using Duck Duck Go had no issues when I used Chrome! We have no more rights anymore, and the Internet being allowed to be controlled by one leach has made it so that discrimination, lawlessness, cheating and stealing is accepted out in the open.

I am so disappointed! I was really hoping this would work out. I have been working with the DuckDuckGo search engine for a couple of months and really wanted to make this my primary search engine because I cannot stand Google's spying. Unfortunately the DuckDuckGo search engine, on several occassions, could not return simple searches. For example, if I type in "time?", it gives me all sorts of irrelevant answers. Whereas when I type the same query in Google, it returns the exact match - the current time. I have tried several such simple queries. How do you expect to compete with Google if you cannot even return basic searches? You need to improve your algorithms. The privacy part of it is fantastic but browsers should be able to generate requested results, for the most part. That's what they are designed to do. DuckDuckGo is failing in this.

DuckDuckGo has given me much better search results than Google has. The results are unbiased and ones that I trust. They don't market my internet history to me and I don't feel like I've got Big Brother working with their marketing team.

I study Cyber Security and I appreciate the efforts of any company that treats internet security as a human right and not a privilege.

Thank you DuckDuckGo I hope your mission spreads to be the standard. You are helping keep the internet in the hands of the public!

Okay, great! I came over to DuckDuckGo today to search for a quote from Joseph Stalin about counting the votes and every result on the first page was from Snopes, USA Today, Politifact, etc. All ultra-liberal sources that all, of course, said Stalin never said 'it's who counts the votes that's important'. Okay, great! I see now. This is a site where 'people can't track you' but not a site where you can trust the unbiased nature of the search results! Just great! Back to Google with my ability to see through the BS!

I fell for the hype, but have paid with a lot of wasted time and effort. Even searching for a document name directly does not lead you to the document, while the same search on Google has the document on the second search result. The image search is worse; try looking for the famous photo of Donald Trump outside of the Scottish parliament while a comedian demonstrated the law of static electricity with a balloon and Trumps wig. You won't find it on any Duckduckgo search results neither will you find image search results for his sons safari kills... Duckduckgo fails at it's only major objective, being a reliable search engine that provides relevant and useful results!

It's not as fast as Bing but probably the same load speed as Google from my experience. DuckDuckGo just doesn't really pop out for me. There is nothing innovative about it. It's just an average search engine. If you're an average person, by all means, this search engine is for you.

Ok l, who ever is behind this YOU ARE MY NEW HERO. Just FYI, I got your site from the Canam.com website. The founder on that site talks about many things. The one thing he does is, encourages people to do their own thinking. He stands behind the constitution and supports people who want to be able to express their values. He believes that we should actually have and maintain our values. He is the one that gave this app to his audience. I believe he is of a like mind as the majority and he explained why he switched to DUCKDUCKGO in detail. I'll spread the word. I am an educated, God fearing, optimistic woman. I hope I can do my part to support you!

Thank you,

I have been using Duckduckgo for years now NEVER had a problem of any kind and my searches never show up on Amazon, Google or anywhere else. My experience with most people are they want to blame others for their mistakes the frequent hacker sites, and lowlife sites pick up malware and viruses then say they got it from Duckduckgo and are now being tracked. Even basic computer knowledge can set it up so if you can't that is not someone else fault. Chrome and Explorer are are not good choices if you want privacy in my opinion. Chrome is Google and they track everything. Explorer is just a hackers dream come true. IMHO! So if you have a problem with privacy when using DuckDuckGo look to the habits you have. Or if you need to do some serious cleanup on you computer and browsing habits. AND always use a good AV! The internet is not a safe place to play and gets worse every day.

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.

I set DuckDuckGo as my homepage. When I later wanted to use a different search provider, DuckDuckGo would not allow it. Every normal avenue I attempted was prevented, and DuckDuckGo remained stubbornly my search provider. I finally did a system restore to get rid of this. I was hoping to have three different search providers, to use for different needs. But now I'm afraid of your product. Something very wrong happened. I am not the only guy who has had a problem. Bad duck.

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?
