      In terms of results, yes. But at least there’s no ads, nor sponsored results, nor bloody AI crap.

      Please explain

      Nice. Downvoted for asking for more information.

        It’s powered by Bing. That’s all. Compare DDG results with a private Bing session.

          So, it uses Bing to some extent, I’ll take that. But it’s not entirely Bing.

          Even if a large part of DDG relies on Bing doesn’t mean they are the same. That’s an oversimplification at least.

            To a great extent. To the point that search results are identical.

            Since the entire topic is about the quality of results, the comparison is quite valid.

              I’m going to need more than “they look similar”. I don’t think it’s a smart thing to trust random people on the internet based off their word alone.

              Lots of things could seem similar when they are still very different.

                I stated that they are identical, not just similar, and literally told you how to check it for yourself. Nothing is stopping you from verifying, or reading their FAQ where they even admit that they use Bing for most of their results.

                Now stop acting so disingenuous.

                  I literally did that and I was not convinced, nor do I think that is good enough evidence. I did not find anything on their site about how much of their results are from Bing.

                  There’s no need to be such as asshole. Why the shit would I take your word when you’re needlessly being such a dick because I simply am asking for more information? Jesus fuck.
