Duckduckgo uses search results from Bing, combined with other search engines and their own bot if Wikipedia is to be believed.
No Google search results are used.
This explains why their results are so much worse than Googleβs.
5 years ago sure. Not sure I really agree nowadays.
Granted, that has as much to do with Google getting much worse as it does DDG getting better.
Palpable 2015 energy in this take right here.
For some things. For other things they're better. Google has really jumped the shark in the past two years.
I mostly just use it for when I want corporate style results, like shopping.
