I used Startpage for a couple of years. They started pissing me off, so I switched to the Duck.

I just started using Startpage this week. What about it pisses you off? I ask because I've been trying to degoogle my android as best as I can and am always open to suggestions
Once you go quack, you never go back.
Google now forced to share search index with competitor in EU. Hopefully some other company make better search result, google not seem to want.
i don't use google
GOOGLE IS THE BEST 😡
How?
Google uses them
Qwant it is.
I've given up and I use edge. It works. If i want something that doesn't track me, i fire up Tor.
At least work edge gives me money. And that's nice. Getting those vouchers feels nice when you can turn it into guilt free hobby stuff
duckduckgo isn't private anymore and they started tailoring results a few years ago
nothing is truly private, it's about trade off and risk management. sometimes hopping on proton vpn and looking up yuri on google images is sufficient, but maybe that's what I tell myself in the absense of greater knowledge.
I'm curious though, what do you think of how they started tailoring results for some queries? That's something they swore to never do when they started
duck duck player still kicks the fuck out of youtube tho
I wasn't aware they made an alternative front end to youtube, that might be something I'd use if it works
