Why you should go to DuckDuckGo and totally ignore Google.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Jun 21, 2019

I think I might be the only one here who just doesnt care. But I dont really care about world/local news anyway and all the news corps out there are biased and swing towards one direction anyway and journalists are terrible and dont know how to spell check so I cant be bothered.

Its okey, some even think world is flat.

Also make sure to ditch chrome. Opera and Firefox are great.

Eskimonster · Jun 21, 2019

There is a new version of opera i just begun testing, its very interesting.
DuckDuckgo works fine with it

Opera GX | Gaming Browser | Opera

Opera GX is a special version of the Opera browser built specifically to complement gaming. The browser includes unique features to help you get the most out of both gaming and browsing.

Out of curiosity.. How many of you DuckDuck go users consider yourselves "Conservative" and/or are into "Conspiracies"?

I was wondering that myself, but wasn't going there because free speech is still for the most part a good thing.

Im just a dad who thinks google are discusting, my hate begun when google copyed all our library books and stole its contents from the authors.

Glad to see some legit reasons to hate google though other than the usual "pizzagate is real news!" stuff.

Yes it is.... But having the right to speak doesn't excuse you from the consequences....aka Inciting a riot/ inducing mass hysteria aka "Pizzgate" "Sandy hook was fake" "Charlottesville"

Stop lying. Nobody is a bing guy

...right?

Gotta say, I watched the video, and was surprised a few times which doesn't happen a whole lot with this sort of thing. Chrome is going out somewhere this weekend on all other rigs and Google gets a ban after all.. I'll make do with DDG and maybe click a few more pages than I used to do in search results. Was already making the move to Firefox because really, it feels a bit lighter than Chrome does now and the only drawback is a slightly longer start up time. Functionality is excellent.

Thanks for the eye opening @Eskimonster

Eskimonster · Jun 21, 2019

I cant help post this

Splinterdog · Jun 21, 2019

DDG apparently uses results from Bing and Yahoo also, so I submitted my three websites to both of those. My book page came up #1 #2 #4 and #6 on DDG, making it easier for potential readers to find.
It's quick too.
I use Opera because of the almost unlimited amount of speed dials.

I checked just to be sure, in canada the best korea is the south one

Rahnak · Jun 21, 2019

I tried making DDG my default search provider a couple years back but it didn't stick. Guess it's time to give it another try. Coincidentally I've been looking at ways to decrease my reliance on Google services as of late (been waiting to switch to Microsoft for some stuff, seeing as I'm already giving them money for 365) but in some cases the alternatives I've seen aren't great.

I will not use Yahoo.

Yahoo is owned by Verizon. I don't have a problem with that.

cornemuse · Jun 21, 2019

HA! HA! you're preaching to the choir! I switched quite a while ago. Some sites 'force' Goolag to search. I copy/paste to Duckduck & continue

yotano211 · Jun 21, 2019

I still use aol, oh wait, I've got mail

er557 · Jun 21, 2019

I'm not switching away from google, i find it the best IT information and tech questions solutions finder, be it community forums, knowledgebases, downloads, maybe simply because it has the most users, and automatically pools more info.

Eskimonster · Jun 21, 2019

Im not telling any one what to do, this purely for information.
Pls take it as such.

Darmok N Jalad · Jun 22, 2019

I’ve walked away from Google as a whole, as I really don’t care for the way they operate. Most companies jump on-board the cause-de-jour just to sell their wares, but they will betray those same stances elsewhere just to get access to a few billion potential users. I'd rather they not blow smoke and meddle with results. I was a Bing user for many years (got the reward points), but I have since gone to DDG, and it has been good enough for me.
