Microsoft wants you to use Bing.

What do people here like about duckduckgo, or not like about it? What other search engines do people use?

Tech dummy here, so dumb it down for me, please.

For me instead of giving results it just gave more searches.

There are lots of different search engines now.

This is the list that you can choose from in FireFox.

If you are shopping on Wikipedia, eBay or Amazon, you may want to use their search engines. Otherwise, I would stay with one of the big three, Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. Each search engine uses different ways of sorting and prioritizing the results that they give you and each has its own biases. Google used to be pretty good, but they've been getting more and more biased, it seems.

I believe that Yahoo! still has its own search engine as well. I don't know if AltaVista is still an option or not. I know I liked them once upon a time.

Are we not bird people? Should we not support the bird themed DuckDuckGo?

I myself have not tried it, but the rest of my family uses it mostly for the privacy feature.

I’ve always used Google, HATE that AI responses come up first (do better Google)! I dislike all the other search engines.

My brother uses nothing but yahoo search.

Chai tea
Shiba Inu dog
PIN number
LCD display
ATM machine
Queso cheese

Well, now I know i piss a lot of people off!

I don't use dog after breed or cheese after queso, but the rest??

Hamburger meat was a "staple term" when I was growing up. My family is probably spinning in their graves - we now eat ground lamb, ground goat & we grind the pork to make sausage...

I think that the search results are a lot more relevant, and they don't have the AI summary of misinformation as the first result.

They are adding it but you can get rid of it, I think.
