    I don’t trust Fuck (lol typo, it was an accident, f and d are really close!) DuckDuckGo and stopped using it since the “relevant” ads from Microsoft: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/company/ads-by-microsoft-on-duckduckgo-private-search/ I personally don’t trust them.

    Rather use an open source search engine like SearxNG . If you don’t want host your own search engine, then use a third-party hosted one: https://searx.space/ and probably switch from time to time. Sometimes the search results are slower or not as good, but that is a price I pay.

      FckFckGo. I see what you did there.

      +1 for the SearxNG. That project deserves wide spread attention as far as I am concerned.

      Exactly this. I read the article in the post and thought it actually sounds like a nice service, but after getting this ad when searching “depression” on DDG last year, I don’t think I’ll ever trust them again lol.
