As someone who does a lot of research, I noticed the change in DDG searches almost a year ago. Information I was able to access easily in the past had suddenly become buried. Like other censored search engines, some information I had to have the exact title of the paper or article to access it. This latest info is no surprise - they have been adjusting search results for some time.
People seriously can not handle power. Sad.
Well, I am sure they are going to get the message now. Just deleted DDF on all my engines. I know I am not the only one. I think they are feeling the pain right about now.
I hope so. I’ve been using DDG for a long time now. This is disappointing but not surprising.
Yea, I switched to Brave browser over a year ago when I realized Firefox was tweaking things. Tried startpage but I didn't like it. Too many sponsored adds at the top of the search. Also, with the stuff I research I didn't notice any difference in the results from what I was getting from the rest of the censored engines. I dropped DDG and switched to Brave search and Qwant. So far, Qwant doesn't seem to be filtering my searches and the results are coming up like they used to on DDG. I haven't played with Brave search much, so they jury is still out on them. Yandex has language issues but it is okay. I refuse to use Google translate so navigating Yandex has been a pain.
