How is DuckDuckGo shitty? It suits me fine.

Here are my gripes:

  1. Uses Bing for a backend
  2. Too many ads
  3. Tries to be too much like Google
  4. Continuous attempts to force feed me AI

Ah yes, I have to admit the constant AI shilling does make me want to look elsewhere. I also didn't know that it's basically askjeeves but for B‽ng, lol

That's not the word I would use but yeah, it's basically a frontend for Bing. And what's especially annoying is that it serves you links to unpaywalled news that's behind an MSN paywall.

Thanks for that because I do feel like, thinking back to earlier today it wasn't giving me the video result I was looking for when searching for "Chinese tiktok make America great again"
