Describe your experience using DuckDuckGo ?

It has been announced Tuesday that DuckDuckGo, the privacy-focused search engine, is working on a desktop browser. DuckDuckGo averages more than 100 million searches per day and is the top browsing app on Android in a number of markets.

I'm still don't get what is the point to use it if we all here praise Master Google.

I tried using it for a bit, as I do with most search engines, but didn't really like it - the results still just aren't as good as the big G

this is absolutely unfairly solid when it comes to privacy.

I can easily rank on Duckduckgo solely based on content. Google is obsessed with authority and suppresses all low-authority sites beyond SERPs.

I use it as my default search engine, most of my searches are related to programming, and most of them are solved with a DDG search, if that doesn't work, I can just add !g to my search and that will open Google.
Also lately, I noticed that for some queries I get much better results compared to google that is showing me some big websites that have nothing to do with what I searched for. But for non English ones it still sucks(at least when searching in Romanian).

I can easily rank on Duckduckgo solely based on content. Google is obsessed with authority and suppresses all low-authority sites beyond SERPs.

They're actually using Bing Search API as far as I know, so basically bing is better than google at ranking content.

My default search engine for long time already

Don’t really see the perks in switching.

The se itself is not the worst (in my experience better than bing, but nowhere near what google provides me as a daily user), but I don’t like the branding. Duck duck go, i mean wtf lol.

Tried it out. Would love nothing more than a solid Google alternative
but it just doesn't cut it.

I indexed the website on search engine bing, but I also got results on Duck2Go

DDG is not that accurate. You can't rely on them always so you will end up using google and ddg side by side.

 

[MaxPayne2022]

How do you rank in DuckDuckGo? Is it different then Google?

 

[Vernicerum]

DDG doesn't care if a website are long gone, I tried searching and ended up on a dead site.

 

[Jimoz]

I dont use Duckduckgo but once I landed on duckduckgo search result by clicking on ad and DDG search result was full of ads followed by normal results.

So I think they advertise DDG to get users to click their ads.

They're actually using Bing Search API as far as I know, so basically bing is better than google at ranking content.

Bing fills 90% of the search results with pages of the same website. They rank tens of pages from a high authority website instead of ranking tens of individual sites. This is a big let down for webmasters and one of the top reasons why many people don't openly support it.

Duckduck go is very useful in making premium accounts

Been using it as default for a while now. For me it works better than google for some searches. Plus I get stuck in indefinite captcha loops, whenever I'm using google over Tor or some VPNs.

 

[deedee1whoa]

It's alright. Google is a mess IMO, it's been that way for quite a while now.

The results are full of spam websites & millions of articles which were translated with Google translate & republished for the sake of earning from ads. Sucks. Bad.

My stuff is ranking better on DDG than on G, probably because they appreciate good content.

DuckDuckGo is a great Google, Bing, and Yahoo alternative for anyone who wants to use the internet anonymously.

While DuckDuckGo’s search engine isn’t as robust as Google’s, it works fine for most day-to-day queries.

For me, the best DuckDuckGo features are its ad-blocking browser extension, untracked browsing, Burn Bar, Tor exit enclave, and privacy grades.
