Should partner up with DDG
I like Duck Duck Go because of the results...and the ducks, but they've also been known to donate to some pretty leftist organizations. Does that matter?
I'm tooling around with Qwant. The results aren't as good to some extent, not sure I like it, but I don't dislike it. I'm going to play with Startpage next.
If you look at the leftist organizations that DDG donated to it's just a couple or three orgs that normies would consider free speech or privacy orgs. I doubt most of them were politically aware enough to realize those orgs were Marxist orgs. It looks like they stopped donating to political orgs. They only did it for a couple of years.
It's not a deal-breaker for me, for that reason. Just thought it should be mentioned. It did give me the impetus to try some alternatives.
I find DDG to be better than some of the alternatives ... subjective though, and I should have clarified.
Nah, I like more competition. Especially since Brave has said that they’re open to licensing out their index to other search engines as a component of their business model. DDG still sells anonymizes user data and is beholden to Google in the same way Mozilla/Firefox are or have been.
