That might be true, but DuckDuckGo’s search algorithm leaves a lot to be desired. I would rather let the government see me naked than suffer through two more weeks of impossibly bad search results.
I didn’t start using Kagi because Google is worse in terms of search results. I like the features they have. Being able to quickly blacklist sites and the lack of ads is really nice. I also think the site itself feels faster.
It does leave a lot to be desired, but reconsider abandoning it. At least keep using it and their browsers until they’re able to make improvements and use google when features make it necessary.
What they stand for is important and eventually they will get to where google has had decades to get.
Usability, privacy, and lack of ads and malware are too important to the future to abandon a product just because it’s not yet been perfected.
Hell, Apple and DDG should team up, seems like a match made in heaven. Apple could do a lot for them, and they could help Apple in many ways as well.
Agreed. It’s getting harder to find non officially sanctioned information about any company or product these days. Google search is no longer an index of the Internet but instead a whitewashed snapshot of what they want you to see. Way back machine is becoming more valuable.

Google search very recently nosedived in quality, after the first 2-3 real results it’s all scam websites.
Now if I want to find something out I google it and add “Reddit” at the end of the search
Yeh that or some technical site but reddit usually covers it fine.
Yea I’m about ready to abandon DDG. I hate to go back to Google, but I need to be able to find shit on the internet.
Just use bangs?
DDG is so bad I actually started paying for Kagi and Brave would be my second choice if I had to choose.
Could you give an example of when Kagi did the job where Google failed?

Sometimes it’s user error. What is impossible to find on one web browser and not another?
Not browser. Search engine. The order and relevancy of results matters. You don’t want to click through 3 pages of results to find something relevant
Yeah, I’ve tried it more than once and the results are terrible.
Really? No privacy, so you can find your fetish faster?! 😅

Duck duck go also tends to be a cesspool tbf
I actually can’t stand Google results anymore. Duck duck go is significantly better at getting what I am actually searching for

It really depends what you’re looking for.
Google is basically ads for semi related things.
DDG is good for things not related to shopping.
Bing is superior for porn.
So that’s why I don’t mind using bing 🤯 mystery solved :D
