That article is about their web browser. Agree that it doesn’t exactly instill confidence that their search engine is squeaky clean. Regardless, DDG results are much more useful than Google results, as the entire first page isn’t ads.
This. It was an interesting read and gives me doubts, but it's undoubtably better than using google and I can set it to my default search engine in safari
Iwould honestly not use Safari either. Mozilla Firefox is the way to go (unless you're on iOS where there actually is no real choice, although the probably still better to use the Firefox front end)
«DDG results are much more useful than Google results» -- not if one is searching in anything but english; not sure for english either (had very poor results myself whenever i tried it) but at least can't disprove it.
The English results are pretty good from what I've seen. Hit and miss in some areas though, like if you want to search in quotes.
Simple searches in other languages seem to work OK. It might depend on the language though. Google does better overall.
