Google alternatives

[Inertia]

Trump hates google, thats enough evidence they must be doing something right.

DuckDuckGo is utter shite; I used it for a while, and then decided I actually wanted to find out about what I typed in, rather than some completely random results e.g. I was looking for recommendations for restaurants in the town/city I was going on holiday - with DuckDuckGo I ended up with utter bilge. Google - no problem, page after page. I could't give a flying toss if google know I've been looking for somewhere nice to eat.

I completely agree with this, my experience exactly.

I use Firefox as my standard browser (except on mobile, where it's Safari) and have slowly been making DuckDuckGo my default search engine on all my platforms over the past few months; have recently done it on all of them now.

This and install the privacy badger extension as well.
