I use DuckDuckGo! I have used it for years and I am very pleased with it! ✨
Ooh that nice! 🦆
A DuckDuckGo user myself for years!
The better search engine! 🦆
Some really good points Thomas, and I suppose every search engine has it’s good and bad, but quoting
That’s kinda the problem, you need relevant sources to you, so I felt like I was missing out sortof.
The privacy stuff I totally get.
And the DuckDuckGo bangs, really useful. In fact I actually combined bangs and google because I couldn’t go back without. 🙂
Ah yes I see that, and yes !bangs are very useful!
the bang commands are pretty cool

Ah cool!
I'm using DDC if I need links or a card, and I'm using Perplexity for knowledge questions.
Perplexity gives more a search engine like interface with the links added to the answer.
The bad thing about Perplexity, and any other chat, is they that they are bugging you to log in.
Oh, I also using perplexity yes! It's a combo of DDG and Perplexity = ❤️
Love DuckDuckGo. I left the google search engine behind almost a decade ago. You may mention the free AI function DDG offers. Without a login. It even keeps track of previous chats. As long as you don't delete the cookies, I presume.
The AI is very generic albeit helpful in some circumstances. When the proposed search results don't give the answer you are looking for. It uses GPT-4o as the engine.
I don't use the DDG IA, but yes, nice to using since it's free and keep your privacy! 🙌
Me too!!
DuckDuckGo is an amazing search engine, I love it!
I am very meticulous to privacy and since Google in recent times is not very efficient in the subject, DuckDuckGo seemed to me the most appropriate solution.
Awesome!
I've been using DuckDuckGo for a few years now on my personal machine! I love the peace of mind regarding privacy. They also give you the option to turn off GenAI summary of search results.
Totally agree, the !bang commands are such a productivity boost - makes jumping between docs and code so much smoother.
Have you found any lesser-known !bangs you use a lot?
Yes!
The must used in my case are
Thanks for sharing the bang command for DuckDuckGo!
