    Yes, duckduckgo uses other search engines to provide its results. Your point?

    I don’t care where duckduckgo gets the links from, I care how relevant the top links are and that they aren’t being crowded out by ads.

      No need to be defensive, ddg uses bing which means it is part of the big five under the hood. That always will have certain ramifications in the long run.

      I also use it but I am looking for decentralised alternatives in meantime not because ddg is bad but because sooner or later it will get worse.

      Also why are you so aggressive anyway, it’s super weird and doesn’t fit Lemmy
