I've been using #DuckDuckGo for the past decade, only relying on Google during work related situations. Recently found #Ecosia as well. A pretty good 1-2 punch.



I've been using #DuckDuckGo for nine years, but today I looked at European alternatives. #Qwant has almost identical results and is probably based on #Bing, as is DDG. #Ecosia has different results and does not match either #Google or Bing. Both are acceptable as search engines.

But I miss the extra features, especially the conversions. Qwant has none and Ecosia only has currencies. I miss Bang!s too.

jinak to že se bojíš přechodu je pochopitelné.
Ale vyhledávače se zlepšují. Například #MicrosoftBing a #DuckDuckGo byli ještě tak před rokem naprosto neschopné vyhledávat nějaké české podniky. Teď už jsou oba vyhledávače v tomto ohledu mnohem lepší.
Duckduckgo má ale stále co dohánět.


I've trialed #Kagi for its first 100 searches. Now that it asks me to move to a paid plan, I'm wondering: is it really worth the €10 a month or should I just stick with #DuckDuckGo? Its feature set is essentially the same as far as I can see and DDG runs an ethical business model with a strong emphasis on privacy as well.


I am using #Qwant and #DuckDuckGo. I fall back to #Google for some special searches, but I avoid being logged in. I am preparing to delete my Google account.



why doesn't #duckduckgo link directly to websites like instead it links to these nonsense links under duckduckgo.com/l. suspicious.


23.5.2024 - Der Tag an dem offensichtlich wurde, dass Bing praktisch die einzige verbliebene Alternative zu Google ist. Alle anderen "Suchmaschinen" sind Bing mit Schlapphut und Trenchcoat. 🕵️

Na obranu blokování reklamy

Poté, co se Youtube pustil do ostrého boje s blokátory reklamy, rozhořela se opět diskuse o tom, zda je v pořádku reklamy blokovat. Dlouho jsem byl na straně odmítačů blokování reklamy. Během svého života jsem napsal řadu článků pro různé časopisy a servery a vím, že obsah se zadarmo neudělá. Nicméně odvětví internetové reklamy zmorfovalo […]

« Je vais poser une question à CanardCanardVasY… C'est bizarre comme nom, quand même… »

Donc, finalement, j'ai cherché d'où venait le nom "DuckDuckGo" au lieu de faire ma recherche (c'était quoi déjà ???).

C'est donc écrit dans l'histoire sur Wikipédia : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuck…

Et… ça vient du jeu "Duck, duck, goose" qui n'est rien d'autre que… "le facteur n'est pas passé" : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck,_du…

Truc rigolo appris aujourd'hui !

#TIL #DuckDuckGo


#Google has a revenue of $162bln and 1.8bln regular users. If we divide these numbers, the value of the services people use giving away their #privacy is $7.5/mo.

But you can have all these services for free (or very small monthly fees) in a privacy-respecting environment: #encrypted email from @protonmail or @Tutanota, online office suite from @cryptpad or @ViOffice, cloud storage Proton or ViOffice, #openstreetmap for maps, #duckduckgo, or @StartpageSearch for search. As simple as that! 😀


The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

@LibreSolutionsNetwork #Purism folks have more perceived cred than they should, due to blind loyalties that facilitate the evils they think they're fighting. E.g. Kyle is loyal to #DuckDuckGo & Purism censored the project that gathered the research behind the article that exposes #DDG’s evils (techrights.org/2021/03/15/duck…). Kyle’s blog doubles down on that screwup & pimps ddg.


@Bubu I don’t think that’s true. I heard a talk pimping #Matrix at #FOSDEM years back, and I remember because I was a bit repulsed that a pro- #Cloudflare org was getting talking time there. It was the same year that #DuckDuckGo abused a time slot to advertise their #Microsoft-driven service.
