If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

The difference between ddg and Firefox for me is that Firefox is a genuinely good product, whereas ddg is noticeably worse than Google. Still trying to find a good search alternative.

I recently learned that ddg is a meta search engine which pulls from Bing search, which is probably why it sucks.

Tried out brave search engine (uses it's own search algorithm) and the results have been better. Probably slightly weaker than google.
