[Tsing]

DuckDuckGo is getting a lot less useful for pirates. TorrentFreak has reported that the quacky search engine, which prides itself on user privacy, has removed the search results for many popular pirate sites.

Honestly that's a strike agaisnt duck duck go. The search engine should be truthful and tag results as dangerous for whatever reason so people can be informed before clicking them. Not just remove results.

That’s why I like this place - you get right to the facts that really matter

I remembered seeing this thread: https://hardforum.com/threads/duckd...embracing-censorship.2018311/#post-1045305079
Although I have not yet looked at the links or really read the thread. I used to use DuckDuckGo all the time, but I felt like Google still had the best search algorithms (not that I know anything about that stuff). Just seemed easier for me to find the sh1t I was looking for using Google.

Google still wins in quality, the rest always give me irrelevant or much worse search results. You just have to skip through the clearly sponsored results at the front. Those are a bit annoying, but as long as the results are not censored, I'm fine with it.

I've been used DDG and it's been fine, and since I don't look for pirate websites I guess I'm not missing anything. I still use Google from time to time.

Google wins for shopping, and only for shopping. Absolutely nothing else. Google is hot garbage for anything meaningful. Ddg is only a little bit better... I will take that little bit though.
