Interesting that you're doing a search engine comparison, and not add google into that comparison. Also, there are no sources at all, so we can't verify any of it, and I know that some of that data is incorrect. Sources would help us (the end user) determine whether our data is incorrect or yours is incorrect due to poor sources. Leaving out the sources, means this chart is actually rather pointless, because it can't be verified (as correct or incorrect).

E: also, ignoring cloudflare with this statement and zero explanation, removes author credibility. Either explain exactly why "cloudflare so who cares lol" or don't include that section at all.

This chart reminds me of this, which was actually quoted in a presentation as an actual quote...

Cloudflare makes you activate cookies and JavaScript, which serves to deanonymize you.

I couldn't quite believe the Cloudflare thing, so I loaded up a new Firefox profile, disabled all cookies, and disabled JavaScript and accessed one of my websites that sits behind cloudflare and... It worked just fine.

Do you have more info on that? Is it only in certain cases?

I believe it's only when they have anti-ddos enabled or CF thinks you're a bot, it makes you resolve a captcha (sometimes), and that requires cookies and JS.

I get denied enough it is noticeable when I'm on a VPN with Mull. Sometimes it let's me do a captcha, sometimes its just a straight up block. Usually dropping my VPN fixes.

It was made by an edgelord for edgelords.

CuckCuckGo belongs in the trash instead.
