Comment on Why DDG is the superior serch engine

I’ve been told the DDG results are the same as Google, yet every time I compare they are quite different.

I’ve been using DDG since Trump’s first term, when they started manipulating COVID search results if memory serves.

DDG defaults to the Bing database, iirc. Probably that’s not all that different from Google, but I think you can preface your search with !g to get identical results.

  if you put !g anywhere it’ll redirect you to google.com
