Also: do you care if it’s Bing? If it works as well as it does it could be a hacked up version of the old AltaVista code for all I care.
I've gone back and forth on using ddg. I realize whenever I am searching for technical assistance, bing results are really terrible. Because of this, I wind up !g every search. Lately, I have begun using https://www.startpage.com, which gives you a private, untracked google search every time.
Who cares? The average consumer just wants something that works. They don’t want a multi user multitasking operating system, they just want Windows because they’re familiar with it. They don’t care about Google vs. Bing, they just use what they’re familiar with, or in this case they use DDG because they feel it protects their privacy.
