Still more private than google.
Just not being Google is sometimes enough for me.
"then why aren't you using Bing?"
angny mob turns to face me
"that's what I thought lol"
Edit: lmfao all the people who downvoted missed the joke
DDG uses Bing's index and is often recommended by people
... yes, I get that. That's the joke. I'm just skipping a step.
bing looks way too Microsoft-y. With its picture background etc. I don’t like the search result and the structure of them. Duck Duck Go follows an easier navigation like Google does. Which is very handy sometimes.
I'm using Bing. For me it's about the quality of search results, and Bing got way better in the last few years, while Google was going progressively worse and worse.
And while I'm willing to give some of my privacy for convenience Microsoft just feels like a lesser of two evils at this point.
I have not used bing loads, but when I have tried it, I have literally never found what I was looking for
