No differences between Google and DuckDuckGo I have done a search using DuckDuckGo looking for information on a trip on Washington DC, a couple of minutes later my wife ( she has never searched for this topic ) has received several instagram message related to the Washington trip. How is it possible ? Now I am thinking that there is no difference between searching on Google or DuckDuckGo

Sometimes results are just flat out… Sometimes results are just flat out irrelevant. Can't say it's a really good search engine. Maybe use it for its advertised privacy focus over Google search or Bing. But I think the results appear to suffer with this privacy focus. I also agree with others who claim some sort of filtering is going on. I also tried DDG Windows browser app which seems really basic and is in beta. For me search results are more important than maintaining my privacy. I don't think DDG balances out the results with privacy.

I changed every default search engine… I changed every default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo as Google hides, filters, and censors out a lot of pages. I have been using Duck for like 2 years now and never had any issues that others with a 1-star rating have mentioned... I guess they don't know how to take care of their PC getting infected, and then naked ladies popping up everywhere and all sorts of bugs happen ( none of that ever occurred with me in 2 years so...). Why I think DuckDuckGo is better than the other one: 1) Ducky doesn't hide or Censor search results and pages, and I get full search results not watered-down ones from another popular one 2) They launched their browser which I like and it only took like 30 seconds to import like 400 bookmarks from Chrome, it's clean 3) Even tho Ducky is free and shows every single search result and page you still have a chance to restrict and filter out stuff so it is friendly. It shows me how they care about both sides not only one side to please ad companies 4) I like to stand behind and support smaller companies that don't hide search results censor everything they don't like and push up stuff someone has paid for. At the end. Try it out if You are tired of other search engines' dictatorship practice and data collection showing results only what they deem right for you. At least with DuckDuckGo, they show everything without filtering out ( You can turn off strict filters for kids

My first and last use My first use of DuckDuckGo was when I clicked on Boots and I immediately got pop ups. Definitely sticking to google.

Losing the page I might be writing an e-mail or perusing items on a well-known site when suddenly I lose the page and a returned to the Duckduckgo start page. This is more than annoying.
