DDG is just Bing
Then Bing it is. I switched on my daily machine and DDG has been ok. Still a lot of sponsored shit I don't need, but better than getting a solid lie from Google
You can disable the sponsored results in the settings of DDG.
Therefore bing > google
Actually true. They hooked me in the golden era of rewards points and I'll be damned if it isn't way better than Google now. Bing image search is especially great. Even their copilot thing (RIP Cortana) is useful.
Are you pulling my leg? I've been using ddg for a year and the image search is the worst part by far. I can almost never find what I'm looking for without crawling back to google images.
Regular search is OK tho
It is better Bing
It's Bing in a private browsing window.
No it isn't. Just because most of the results come from Bing does not not mean that it is Bing. Bing is awful and DDG is useful.
Last time I ran a side-by-side test, DDG results were identical to Bing in a private browsing session.
That's the results only though.
That's often what I'm looking for from a search engine
