If I recall correctly, DuckDuckGo uses Bing's search database (not search itself, just the database).
They say that's a myth, that they have their own search engine and database.
It might be a myth, but it would probably be the best search engine.
Bing is too good, they're trying to capture market share and likely operating it at a loss. But if people leave Google, it's most likely because they dont want tracked. And Microsoft is probably at best just as bad as Google.
A go between that anonimizes the results would be exactly what people want.
You mean that they just don't frontload ads on results?
