sorry to hear that; if you are using us any point in the future and want to flag this, we have a “submit feedback” button on pages, this is a really useful thing to do for us, as it helps us to identify results which are not so good :D

Dehydrated@lemmy.world 7 months agoSuggest a better alternative then. Startpage, Mullvad Leta and Whoogle are just Google proxies (and Whoogle is pretty unreliable), SearX, SearXNG and 4get are also just proxies for multiple search engines. There are no good independent search engiens, Brave Search sucks because it’s made by Brave, a company notorious for pushing weird NFT and Blockchain shit, Mojeek has pretty bad search results and Kagi requires an account, and only allows 40 searches per month.

I would love to switch away from DuckDuckGo, and I would be very happy if Mojeek was a viable alternative. I’ll try using it for some time and I will report and issues I encounter with the search. Btw it’s great that you’re on the Fediverse!

And DDG is just a proxy for Bing following that logic. I’d choose those three over DDG.
Making a new account every 100 searches should be an option (albeit a somewhat tedious one), no?
Dehydrated@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah, but if the alternatives aren’t better, why not just use DDG?
That ain’t a great solution either
spraynpray@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Because those alternatives never explicitly whitelisted trackers from MS.
Dehydrated@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Tell me which of the options I listed you would use.
The other options aren’t good either
