What do you use, /g/?
Anyone recommending DDG is ignorant.

Searx.
DDG can use Google btw. Just add g! before the first word.
Why not use Google and problem solved. No need to be hipstery.
I use startpage. It does everything I need it to do, which means I type in what I'm looking for and get relevant results.
searx.me works like a charm for me, results are more or less good
>>55283121
Ddg results dropped in quality significantly in the past month or so. I find myself forced to fallback to ixquick or plain google more and more.
Is this due to yahoo shutting down BOSS?
DuckDuckgo is a cool idea and I like the bangs (!g, !yt, ...) but not so sure about the privacy indeed.

Found the functional ignoralis.

You do know that Google, Microsoft and all those big companies already posses your data, right?

Have you guys been having any problems with Searx recently? I've had times in the past few days when I search something and get mostly bullshit unrelated results then run my search through Google/Yahoo/Bing and get relevant results. This is really weird since the only search engines I have it set to run through are Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
>>55283221
what has /g/ become
>>55283344
havent been around my pc for a week or so but that doesn't sound familiar to me
>>55283344
>>55283369
Think something strange might be going on with Bing/Yahoo, I took them off the list and suddenly got completely relevant results.
>>55283246
Just use the g! bang.
>>55283289
This.
>>55283344
Yahoo related AFAIK.
>>55283121
None of them. Use searx. The only search engine which actually delivers source code instead of "promises".
>>55283461
MODS
started seeing the yahoo logo in my ddg results.
>>55283121
ddg got me
the bangs are too useful
Searx looks awesome. Should've checked it out before.
If you use ddg you might as well just use google.
>>55283121
>>fast, but bad results
The results aren't so bad, I find them sometimes even better than google
>google something about a prduct
>first 10 results are from shops selling said product
>use duckduckgo
>actually has the manufacturer's prduct page in the top results

https://lite.qwant.com/
>>55283775
I use qwant in my searx sources. Qwant and swisscows give pretty good results.
Google because I'm not a tinfoil neckbeard speglord who have something to hide
Save yourself the trouble and just use https://encrypted.google.com you freaking autists.
>>55284252
tip top bait
>>55284295
Why exactly do you think people are using Google alternatives?
I have my browser search set to DDG so I can use the bangs. DDG's search results themselves are awful.
>>55284477
>muh bangs
you don't need cuckcuckgoy for them, retard
>>55284295
>https://encrypted.google.com you freaking autists
>autists
Startpage is Dutch. A country without decryption orders.
Duckduckgo is American. Country of prism.
I just use DDG. Tried ixquick and disconnect.me. But I like the audio web results of DDG most of the time.

Duckcuckgo since Google doesn't give me relevant results anymore. All I get are edgy news articles instead of informational pages. Sad life I miss when Google results were on point, even with verbatim turned on
>>55283121
>>55283221
Just go
Startpage results are unfortunately often useless. DDG is OK, and a good alternative.
>>55283121
I'm using Qwant. It's french and supposely secure. But it's a bit too slow for my taste sometimes
