    Apparently companies like to deal with Google because it has a superior search engine. That’s why users use it. What companies like is the adware hooks. Time to use DuckDuckGo and Firefox.

      The thing is, at least in my experience, google is better. On avarage it takes me less time to find what I want on google than ddg. Yes I’m sure part of that is using google for a very long time, but there is one HUGE thing google has that ddg doesn’t: Quotation and minus search amendments. With google, if I can’t find what I’m looking for, add “” around it, and if something unrelated is showing up, use - The solution on ddg? Guess a different set of words to use, until you get it right. If ddg added this, I think I’d switch over entirely.

      Yeah, give Microsoft your search history instead!

      Edit: downvotes from silly geese who have no clue that DuckDuckGo is just Bing wearing a duck mask
