      You mean https://duckduckgo.com?

      The first thing I change when I open up a new browser for the first time is change the default search from Google to DDG.

          It offers better results to me than Google does. Especially the image search.

          IMHO the only controversial thing is that duckduckgo also lists reddit posts - which I’d actually like to avoid.

            I’m not talking about duckduckgo. Don’t use duckduck.com. Use duckduckgo.com

            And for reddit posts, as much as I want Lemmy to succeed, I cannot ignore reddit.

            Sometimes an answer I’m looking for is there hidded between useless comments (if it hasn’t been deleted or overwritten by the user).

          1. Why?

          2. Google sure as hell does not lead to the desired result, so don’t use that?
