Why you should go to DuckDuckGo and totally ignore Google.

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.

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.

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"
 
 
Switched to using duckduckgo for now.

Stop lying. Nobody is a bing guy

...right? o_O

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

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 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.
 
On the Yahoo side, anyone know who the majority stock holders are?

I will not use Yahoo.
 
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
 
I still use aol, oh wait, I've got mail
 
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.
 
Im not telling any one what to do, this purely for information.
Pls take it as such.
 
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.
