  At best this is as intelligent as saying Google Maps is YouTube by another name because they’re both on Google servers. Even that would be smarter to say actually, because Google Maps and YouTube are owned by the same company.

    When bing goes down so does duckduckgo but somehow your apples to oranges argument is somehow comparative.

      They share hosting servers, that doesn’t make them the same service. When the power goes out do you think you and your neighbors live in the same house?

        Just keep sucking down the hype. They don’t share the same hosting for the frontend but they both use the same backend. The backend is of course owned by microsoft. duckduckgo uses bings backend and somehow you have convinced yourself beyond all evidence to the contray that it isn’t bing with a different wrapper.
