Because Google is better and Bing is sexier.

It's a honeypot botnet. Use searx instead.

by the time i've found the page i want my erection is gone.

because I only care about privacy until it slightly inconveniences me

I don't eat s o y, don't watch landuke and i hate the term "nerds"

But I use it through searx, user

Because Google is simply better.

I don't need to search I already found more stuff that I can read

scan the entire internet with your own web crawler and then create a search engine program in pure x86 assembly to index it

botnet

Surely you have sources for this.

learn regex and use it to download the entire internet with wget, then you can search the internet locally and offline. it's way faster and safer that way

>t. Illuminati

Already using it for almost 2 years, DDG is great!

Thx for your opinion, FuckFuckNo CEO!

become a botnet

I'm using startpage but it's search results have been shit recently

Servers are proprietary.

Bitter and retarded

no local results for my country
at least not as many as google gives
but it's a nice project

my browser uses it by default

And i make searches like "Google" on it LOLOLOL

Nice to meet you, bitter and retarded!
Oh, wait... Well, it's actually NOT nice.

The owner of DDG used to have a site that was all about collecting personal info (it asked you for your phone number, family member names, friends' names and god knows what else)
It's clear that the dude is just jumping on a new fad which is worryingly the complete opposite of what he used to do, therefore I cannot trust DDG. Stop listening to all the fags who think DDG is a botnet because it knows your IP/user agent/location.

proxied yahoo

What was that website?
>Stop listening to all the fags who think DDG is a botnet because it knows your IP/user agent/location
I don't, as it would be unreasonable. Also, others claimed Startpage is botnet.

The owner has sold emails of people in the past. It seems worse than StartPage to me.

Why would I use a service when there is a better alternative available?

The website was "Names Database". In order to access the site you'd had to either pay money, or give away personal data. The entire website was sketchy enough that I can't trust anything from the owner.
>StartPage is a botnet
It's just a proxy unless they've got secret telemetry which is unlikely in my opinion. Searx can't be a botnet because it's not centralised, open source, and has multiple implementations. And it's a proxy which gathers results from search engines of your choice.

creating a keyword for every search form on the internet when ddg has already done it for you.

because i've got nothing to hide

I think Searx has better results, that's why

1. ddg doesn't have a 'bang' for every search in existence (for example boorus or pornsites), keyword search does
2. looking up, then learning and remembering ddg's predefined and uncustomizable keywords takes more time than creating one yourself when you need it
3. taking the youtube example and since we're splitting hairs anyway: typing "!yt" takes more time than typing "y", so you lose time with every search

you're just a lazy idiot. but at least the US government will be able to collect your data, i guess.

ddg uses !yt probably because there's more than one website that starts with y.
And if you forget !yt is the bang for youtube, !youtube also works.
If you create a keyword for startpage search, then create one for startpage image search, the second overwrites the first.

Because startpage exists.

This

it is more powerful than duckduckgo but it has ads so

Why does searx and startpage always have shittier results than google if they're just proxies? And I'm not talking about location based results.

There's only so much you can achieve not being a part of the botnet.

Startpage or Searx.

Ixquick (founder of StartPage) has an excellent track record of obssesing over privacy. Just skim through the Wikipedia article.

> I'm using startpage but the vanilla google search results have been shit recently
It's only a proxy for Google, user.

>a web search engine that doesn't even use cookies, ads or fucking javascript
>hurr durr you can't trust it!
man, why do some people even come to the technology boa- oh wait, I forgot, this is the tech support and consumerism board. people don't need to understand how things work to vomit their opinion here.

google returns customized results depending on the user data they have
for me, lately, google has been returning only useless shit sometimes

I tried to switch, but the results just suck compared to google

> user admits that he loves the botnet
Colour me surprised.

DDG and brave and all the stuff that is shilled here all the time surely isn't better anyways.

It's not, but Jow Forums turned to half-assed baits a long time ago.

chiru.no/a/search

where is the real tech board senpai?

how is it a botnet if the entire thing is meant so that you can tailor it to your needs, even allowing for you to host it yourself?

>the core is proprietary
It doesn't mean anything if you can't host it without fully knowing what you're running.

Qwant it's better, also it's french

trash results with botnet added on top use startpage

Wrong

Go to library and search it manually. Guaranteed no botnet

I gave up on google years ago. My impression is that it's pure censorship because a few things work but anything "sensitive" don't.

>implying anyone uses a searx instance other than searx.me

>what are surveillance cameras
honestly, people

first of all, duckduckgo is just a proxy - it doesn't have it's own search database. So it's as censored as all the other search engines. searx is a better proxy because it scrapes all the major search engines. There is no reason to use ddg.

if you want uncensored results these days then there's only yacy - a p2p search engine - that's a viable alternative. I wish there were more alternatives. And yacy has a clear downside, you do need a server with a lot of ram and hdd space. It was meant to be used as a "background service" on the average desktop. But it's not your average small innocent daemon, it's a system hog. I run a node regardless and others should do the same - and even consider contributing code. If anyone can point out other p2p based search engines that work then please do.

Censorship is bad these days. It's just hard to notice because both Google and Bing do it.

I don't use a publicly known searx instance. tip: it's pretty easy to install. the downside is that you're the only one using it. it's sources are mostly https but still, it's a slight downside to consider (if you're monitoring traffic to and from a searx node and 10000 people are using it then you blend in)

Some parts of this make sense, but:
>oh no! this website knows my IP address
>that I gave to it so it knows where to return my request
>those assholes!
The location is from the IP. Just proxy/Tor.

>implying anyone who really cares that much about privacy would be posting on Jow Forums anyway
>"owned by a Jew" ever being a valid argument on moot's chan

Just for those who don't know, this jewjewgo shill is always making the same thread and posting the same garbage FUD.

this

it sure smells like summer in here

>pic
this shit is obvious and practically not an argument. any website/web service/person/etc can be targetted by the NSA, in the US or elsewhere in the world, and there is little you can do about it. if you think other search engines are immune to this, you are simply wrong because you are too ignorant/dumb

Because DDG's search results suck compared to any other search engine

startpage

It's shit and it's also a honeypot for pedos trying to """""degoogle""""

Honestly, CockCuckGo was shit.
Didn't really deliver the search results I wanted so I went back to using Google.

There is literally nothing wrong with being a pedophile.
