I've started to use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine in Firefox recently, but accuracy of results often falls short of my expectations. So I end up entering the same query again at Google especially when searching for technically detailed Q&A. Is there anyone who only use DDG in everyday life?
I am quite satisfied with ixquick[0]. It forwards google results over a Proxy, utilizing TLS and it
relinquishes cookies. Pretty neat if you ask me.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.ixquick.de/eng/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ixquick.de/eng/</a>?
I've been getting this only when redirected from DDG via !g in FF (and not Chrome for example). I've this even if Google is set as my default search engine.
I use DDG by default on all of my devices and the main reason is because DDG makes it easy to switch to any search engine I need.<p>So, if I can't find anything in DDG (usually very specific), I'll just type !g at the end, and it'll take me to Google's search engine (encrypted version).<p>If I want images, I use !bi or !gi.<p>The bang ! is pretty much the most powerful feature that DDG has.
My default search engine is Google and for the last couple of weeks I've seen that box several times. It hasn't bothered me enough yet to try figure out what is going wrong, but it does feel pretty silly.
Reminds me of my attitude on banks. I would never recommend a bank to someone unless they asked. I barely know anything about banks, even my own, and I'm in no position to determine another's decisions.
DDG-user for about two years now. With the latest iterations of Apple-updates, I'm using it on my iPhone as well. Using the terminal-like style :-)
