DuckDuckGo

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.

They are for diversity hires. Any company that talks about "diversity" is more interested in image than protecting your privacy. Don't trust them.

Since installing this - I all of a sudden cannot get into half of the apps that I use everyday! On my other devices. THERE IS NO WAY to unistall it. I looked in the control panel on my laptop and I'm stuck with this. It has hosed up all my devices and apps. DO NOT USE THIS! THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTACT FOR SUPPORT!

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.

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.

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.

They may claim to not track you, but they do. I have a screenshot of what Ublock Origin blocked: 3 tracking cookies. Now Google does a lot worse, but it is false advertising. They also recommend IPhone over Android yet Apple has just as bad of a privacy policy as Google does. They also host their website on a Amazon web server, which Amazon is notoriously known for their terrible privacy practices.

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.

Cuck Cuck Go censors their results just to fall into lockstep with all the other massive conglomerates. How despicable are they? Let's see, they used to have unbiased unfiltered results and suddenly they sound like the Biden administration saying "we're fight MISINFORMATION" C'MON MAN. Time to go to Brave who used to use DDG but stopped when they started censoring results. Yup go get Brave Beta and enjoy unbiased, unfiltered, news that you actually look for. Yes you can find what you want on BRAVE.

I am terribly disappointed in this company's decision to control search information by altering its algorithm to begin down ranking sources that promote Russian "misinformation." Users don't need DDG's "protection". Users can make their own informed decisions about the validity of the information a search produces. This is nothing more than DDG putting it's finger on the scale of their search results. This calls into question DDG's whole operation. With this type of Big Brother control, it especially casts doubt on DDG's claims of privacy for users. If users wanted a search engine with this type of limitation, They would have stayed with google. Go woke... go broke. Changed to Brave FDDG!

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

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.

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.

OMG, this is the WORST thing I have ever done to my ipad! And it WILL NOT DELETE! No matter how many times I have tried, it keeps reappearing to a search I did last summer, and it is even complete with the misspelling of the thing I searched LONG ago! It is like a bad memory my ipad cannot erase! I wish I could leave negative stars as 1 star is too many! They OBVIOUSLY do track and are basing their reputation on that, but it is a lie! If anyone knows how I can completely extract this nightmare from my ipad, please leave me a message. Thank you!

Used DDG for over 2 years with no problems but now I see your CEO is a Progressive Censoring Marxist I am gone for good. Google mini me

Selling our info just like Google. Forget it. Can you beleive this? Now they are squashing what they call "misinformation". Same as Google!

This search engined scammed me. Everything was completely fine with google, but then duck duck go hacked into my computer. After that, everything moved as slow as molasses. Then, to my horror, duck duck go somehow hacked into my instagram account, sending everybody I know inappropriate messages. Please get this garbage thing off my computer. It is impossible to get off and I'm so disgusted at this site. I could literally write a ten page paper on how much this site is a scam, but I literally have to fix the mess they've created

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 have used duck duck go for years but their decision to join the cancel club put an end to that. USE BRAVE BROWSER AND SEARCH!

Deleted the app. App not as promoted as it fell along the path of censorship in America that has run rampant these last 2 words. Losing trust more and more by the second.

Terrible search results so you cant find what you want easily. It takes a very long time to do so.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR USE

Privacy? No, that's observably and obviously a lie. Good search results? No, your research will be a pain to complete. Unbiased searches? You'll be quick to notice omitted results of websites or entire opinions, so that too is a pipe dream. At least they don't sell data, right? Suuuuuure, that's why Google can provide suggestions based on duckduckgo searches. Well, I can watch videos without going to actual websites like Youtube, which store cookies, so there's that! No, duckduckgo loves cookies, and furthermore, the feature that allows you to watch those videos on duckduckgo is disappearing due to cookie blocking, which was stored anyway.

In short, this website is a pathetic excuse for a search engine who tries to get people to use it based on blatant lying as advertising. I don't know what a good option is, but duckduckgo is not it. I don't know how these big Internet corporations are not getting sued left and right while being dismantled for privacy infringement, data collection, biased search presentation, and monopoly like business practice.

Just another corporation that sold out to government. May as well be Google. Untrusting corporation.
