Duckduckgo? That's just a search engine, no?
I agree on the rest of the parts tho
Yeah, odd inclusion. Duckduckgo is indeed a search enginge, but it's essentially just a front end for Bing.
Sadly yes :( i've been keeping an eye on mojeek, hopefully it'll get better.
Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025
Very interesting, thanks for telling me - i recall them sharing your IP with bing/google? but since they're building their own, this may change. I'll keep an eye on this, thank you
I’m so looking forward to that!
DDG and Brave were pushed as "censorship free" alternatives, back when I was looking into covid disinformation, because the very obviously fake websites would sometimes rank higher on them
There may be more to it though
I mean yeah, doesnt matter. The point is people shared alternatives to big tech just like folks who are not in the power right now. Cause apparently x is musk's and it looks like the consensus is that rest of big tech is siding with Trump for profit
I mistook it as you saying DDG is alt-tech. My mistake
