Honestly their results have been absolute shit for a while now. All I get are big business (mostly MS with Bing) results like Amazon links or worst yet, some BS AI built website with poorly stolen info meant to just push visitor traffic and not actually provide value.
I’ve been looking into alternates and find Yandex actually provides real results. They don’t blacklist either something all the major US engines do because DMCA.
At this point it’s like to I give up privacy and get real results or stick with DDG that seems in MS’ pocket so I have little trust they are still anonymizing your results.
![[Solved] Now DDG also got AI features. Is it good or bad for Privacy?](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/d9649ece-23e9-48f0-87cc-ff628789d1d2.webp){kind=link}
