Don't take me wrong: I use Google search very very often : beats the hell out of Bing and certainly Yahoo (which used to be good) but only on 1 browser using an extra daily changing non-transparent proxy.
I know that one but it doesn't give the expected search results.
DuckDuckGO, like Yahoo, is powered by Bing.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 12:39 amI believe it uses the google engine just doesn't do any tracking etc.
I have been using it for a few years and it seems to do just fine. the only time I ever use google now is to search for images.

It's exactly that. It is YOU the company et al that are responsible and never mind the user and the user's responsibility and their poor choices.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 4:23 pmIt also seems to leave out any personal responsibility which is a common trait for liberal organizations.
I switched to DuckDuckGo because I was tired of all things Google, but the search results just weren't the same and as mentioned, picture searches were a lot different. Odd in that I thought DuckDuckGo used Google, but apparently Bing.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 12:39 amI believe it uses the google engine just doesn't do any tracking etc.
