gearjnr.blogg.se - Is duckduckgo better than google

Nevertheless I switched my default browser again and was excited looking at that result when searching for “linux test wifi strength”. IIRC I tried DuckDuckGo some months ago and was not pleased (while writing this I think I might mistook it for ixquick). I’ve been doing this for the last two years searching for an alternative - everytime with the same result -> switching back to Google as my default search engine. Also when switching I forced myself to use that search engine for at least one week. So I once tried Yahoo, then Bing, ixquick, and MetaGer to be my default search engine. looking for Google-AlternativesĮvery now and then I convinced myself to try “not Google” as my default search engine as colleagues where using Bing for all their searches - happily. So setting a default search engine is a comfort feature or me to not have to specify/prepend the search engine.

“gi Porsche 911” searches on Google Images for “Porsche 911”.

“e Porsche 911” searches on Ebay for “Porsche 911”.

“a Porsche 911” searches on Amazon for “Porsche 911”.

“g Porsche 911” searches on Google for “Porsche 911”.

If I type “searching the web using my default search engine” into the address bar and confirm it with return, the text will be searched with my default search machine (DuckDuckGo). This feature (first introduced by Opera iirc) helps specifying the site/search engine within the address bar and may be just one character long. how I do searchįor many years I am using Firefox’s “keyword search”-feature. Google hoarding data always worried me but the results where the best - no competitor could deliver results that good.
