      DuckDuckGo is not really much better. And it uses Bing as a backend. Gone are the days of reliable search engines.

      ever try the duckduckgo app? I didn’t realize it existed until now.

      II’m usually on firefox with adblocker, and just use duck as my default search, so the app seems unnecessary. willing to try it out tho

        Everyone here is saying this. Using Bing as an engine while maintaining peivacy doesn’t seem as much of a problem to me. Can you explain why pointing out that bing being under the hood is seen as a negative?

          I assume because Bing gives the exact same spam results as Google. All of the seatch engines kinda suck nowadays.
