I guess we all kinda knew that, but it’s always nice to have a study backing your opinions.

    Arent they trying to make their search worse so you have to search multiple times, showing you more ads?

      The study found that ddg was worse than google though. But they only searched for products, so nk complete “test”.

        Ddg is still good for non product shit, hell sometimes if im looking up niche enough shit itll give me results with for example space battle forums.

      I would think they’d make more money by sending you to sites that use Google ads.

      The ads on Google’s own pages are often fairly benign as far as internet ads go. I’ve certainly never had them tell me I’m the millionth visitor and try to reward me with the gift of an epileptic fit.
