Apple held talks with DuckDuckGo to replace Alphabet's Google as the default search engine for the private mode on Apple's Safari browser, the Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the discussions.

    Ddg results are pretty horrible in my experience. Statpage (google results) and brave search both have better results.

      Brave Search is awful for non-English results. Startpage is decent but only because it’s basically Google results.

        I can’t speak to non-English results, and I agree Startpage is just a Google proxy.

      Shout out to startpage! I use it almost exclusively and it is great.

      Yeah, brave search is what I use for my main searches, but ddg bangs do come in useful. Brave has it too.

        Bangs are essential, especially if you use DDG HTML, which doesnt have tabs for different kinds of searches
