    It’s Bing without tracking. And the things like quotation marks still work. However, baseline search using it has still gone to shit.

      Did it used to be better? I rarely if ever used it before Google’s enshittification, but now I’m just happy to find streaming services whatever I need.

        It did, but Bing hiked their prices so it got shitty.

          Oh, “it” meaning Bing then, not DDG. Although I thought Bing had always been free… shows what I “know”!:-P

            DDG uses Bing on the backend, and they have to pay for each query, so Bing affects DDG
