And people still support and use Google search so the monster just continues growing.
I guess we get what we deserve as a species.
I've tried to move away from Google search so many times but honestly it's just too convenient..
I think duck duck go is better personally. There are still a ton of Google services id have trouble leaving though. Google photos, Maps, Docs ect. I don't think I could quit google altogether.
Isn't it Duck Duck Go that sent metadata to Microsoft, also if they denied it.
Interesting so I guess they use Microsoft ad services and thus send data to Microsoft. I just like their search results because they're less spammy than Google. Also I found Google sensors their search results a bit more. Let's say your trying to find a site for pirate streaming. You'll have better luck with DuckDuckGo.
Searching for pirate streaming/illegal websites on Google is in general not a good idea…
Yeah in particular NFL streams idk how to find them. Luckily my work has a guy who always seems to know a good site.
@pingu, I can't detect nothing apart of some anonymous data.
DDG is not my favorite search engine, but it can be considered private and reliable.
Sorry, I remembered it wrong… the problem was that DuckDuckGo stopped blocking Microsoft trackers. But it seems that the contract with Microsoft was terminated after the discovery.
@pingu, anyway it's good to have several search engines at hand, apart of DDG, Startpage, Qwant, Mojeek f.Exmp. are good options.
