DuckDuckGo

Duckduckgo would have you believe that it is a program alternative to Google. But it is not. Once you load t on your computer, it does not appear in the program list and can't be easily removed. It takes over all your search imitations like a virus. You can't switch back a and fourth between search engine. It is hard to remove it and depending on your experience you might have to hire a professional to remove it. You have to wonder why they would do it this dishonest way and not make it a program that you can remove? What are the up to? Alternative to his BS virus is Incognito mode on Google. Much easier to use and turn on and off.

I am completely against Russian state sponsored disinformation and last night Putin told me in my dream that he uses Duckduckgo as his search engine. I can't stand such disinformation spreading search engine and hence I am choosing to not use it.

Thanks.

1. ZERO microphone capability
2. ZERO search title at top of results page
3. ZERO ability to back button to view what was typed on original search pg

All 3 are requisites when doing an internet search.

If you are incapable of adding these features to your search engine you fail any attempts to create anything similar to an internet search engine.

Privacy is not the requisite, efficiency is the requisite.

Isn't the whole point of this browser to answer question? For me everytime I ask a question it can never give me a clear answer, instead I must read 5 articles that never even give me a clear answer. These questions are not complicated! Although this browser provides more privacy, google does much better at its job. I do not recommend this browser.

Any sensitive or taboo topic is heavily filtered from results. Duckduckgo doesn't seem to care if your interest is legitimate or if the taboo/sensitive label is justified, the results are simply filtered and censored.

Terrible browser. Like buying Walmart brand only in a browser. FB is difficult to navigate. Enlarging photos is hard too, Duckduckgo makes it difficult to manage Google images. All the way around it sucks; although it might me ok for someone (like an old lady) who isnt computer saavy who just wants to post casket photos on fb of all of her friends.

There are better alternatives. All search engines track. It's impossible for low cost or free services to make money without advertising, and that advertisers require some method of measurement, which involves…. Tracking

Using either the "-" negative sign or using logical function such as NOT does not eliminate the keywords. This makes a search engine useful.

The other issue is the results are become more and more biased towards what's popular in captalist marketing, Bing does this, be different.

Searching for best massagers to buy, only shows theragun type massage tools. I can not massage my upper back with those. Haha. And I have no friends.

Duckduckgo gives me much more accurate search results than Google! I know that Duckduckgo still uses improving.duckduckgo.com, but this just makes a few anonymous ads. There are very few ads, and they don't use any of your data! You don't even have to make an account! One thing that would be nice would be something like Google Scholar, where only credible websites appear. Much better than any other web browser!

The duck sells your info to google, this can be seen with heavy ad choice ads all the time. Now they are redirecting and editing my search requests over hot button political searches. Total communist B. S!

Firstly, Duckduckgo has no advanced search, which is annoying. When you try to highlight an image, it highlights all of them. Duckduckgo has no other services, like emailing on gmail, looking up where to go on maps or having a profile on G+. On google it's all connected, so when you use duckduckgo you need a seperate thing for everything. Google has just so many tiny things and easter eggs that duckduckgo just doesn't have the experience to add. In duckduckgo's advertisements, it says bad things about google when google really is the experienced one. It's a good principle but the product does not work. Also, have you ever heard of INCOGNITO MODE?

DuckDuckGo promote Scam websites to the top of their search lists, just like the others! I thought they were an ethical business, but found out to my loss (when I trusted their link) to buy a Rod Licence. They promoted a direct link into this scam website, which had the Environment Agency name on it, without any mention of additional fees etc.
Is there ANY search engines you can trust, now? I think not, they are all morally corrupt.

I have used DuckDuckGo since its inception. However, now that it has become "woke" and has chosen to suppress or down list searches based on "misinformation" I am permanently removing my support and use of a service that believes it is a better judge on content than my own judgement. You guys at DuckDuckGo just blew a good thing.

Good luck finding any products other than what is offered by Amazon. Seriously frustrating. When searching for a specific product, 100% of the results are Amazon links. When I type -amazon at the end of the search, there are NO "product" results. I highly suspect DDG is owned or otherwise affiliated with Amazon - and anyone who thinks Amazon isn't going to track users (and subsequently LIE about it across the board...) think again.
