Ha, no. You might have some points, but you blow all your credibility with anybody who has ever used Duck Duck Go.

What’s the issue with DuckDuckGo and why is it worse than Google? Provide actual arguments please.

Google: “Anya Chalotra (born 1994 or 1995) is a British actress primarily known for her role as Yennefer of Vengerberg in the Netflix original series The Witcher”
DDG: “The Witcher (TV Series 2019- ) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb”Q: “AA203”
Google: “American Airlines flight 203, Amsterdam to Philadelphia: Arrived at 308pm”
DDG: “AA203 (AAL203) American Airlines Flight Tracking and History - Flightaware”Q: “time signature of mission impossible theme”
Google: “5/4 time”
DDG: “Theme from Mission: Impossible
American television theme music
“Theme from Mission: Impossible” is the theme tune of the TV series Mission: Impossible. The theme was written and composed by Argentine composer Lalo Schifrin and has since gone on to appear in several other works of the Mission: Impossible franchise, including the 1988 TV series, the film series, and the video game series.

Google: “In Golang, we can do this by:
Comparing it with an empty string.
Evaluating the length of the string; if it’s zero, then the string is empty, and vice versa.” DDG: "stackoverflow.com › questions › 18594330 › what-is-the-best-way-to-test-for-an-empty-string-in-go
What is the best way to test for an empty string in Go?"Q: “aoe4 finding landmarks”
Google: “Reddit: How do you know which buildings are landmarks?”
DDG: "ageofempires.fandom.com › wiki › Landmark
Landmark | Age of Empires Series Wiki | Fandom"These were just a handful of queries I threw at the two. Google often gives the exact answer with no other searching needed. DDG never does. When the results are links and they’re different, the Google results are simply better. Anybody objective who uses the two search engines knows this. Only someone with an axe to grind would pretend that DDG is anywhere near as good.
