99.99999% of users don’t know this… People who work in IT knows it and that’s about it.
This is also why Google search is still popular too, people don’t know about any alternatives and are afraid to use something else even. They don’t even know why they may want to use something else. It’s ridiculous.
Google search is still popular because it works the best for most people. Bing and the others pretty much suck.
I know I’ll get downvoted but it’s true. I try to use DDG where possible, and I’m not paying for Kagi. It’s quite expensive and I’m not too sure I’d like it. Half the time DDG doesn’t find something Google easily finds.
And yes I know Google is worse than it was like 3 years ago, but DDG results are way worse.
Pretty much daily. On my phone it is my default search engine but it often doesn’t work out for me.
I gave up with that plan on desktop and reverted back to google as default since it seems especially bad at finding software solutions, and I’m doing most of those searches for my job and side projects on my desktop.
Well I used the Kagi free trial and loved it, and now I’m a very happy subscriber. It’s better than everything else, and it’s not owned by shitty big tech as a bonus. :)

When did you try DDG? I’m newer to it and have heard it get alot of grief but I’ve never had much issue.

I need to give it a shot I suppose. Thanks for this response.
