I was looking for Kagi, but then realized they didn’t even have Google, which makes me think the data is probably nonsense and it’s just for the cloud flare thing.
They are the biggest player, and thus the baseline for comparison. How can people know how much better something is than Google if they don’t include the stats for Google?
Maybe that’s why ddg doesnt click with me.
How do i use ddg for technical questions that need some obscure forum posts from 15 years ago? I obly get stackoverflow and windows forums. Those arent helpful at all.

I mean it’s kinda pointless to compare Google’s privacy features since they have none

Google is the default. How can you say that duckduckgo has good results if you dont compare them to google. Trash diagram.
Fully agree.
We don’t even know what search query was used either, and what the criteria was used to grade seach engine.
DDG’s results are perfectly fine to me - however for best results you shouldn’t structure search queries in the same way you would for Google
IMO trying Google after using ddg for a couple years just shows some big weaknesses in the quality of Google’s results. Fake SEO clone sites et al ☹️

They’re the worst in terms of being the panopticum, but I don’t understand how easy it is to buy data from them.
