DuckDuckGo sometimes has more relevant results than Google

It seems that Google promotes politically correct opinions/sites or maybe penalizes sites with politically incorrect content. Nevertheless, switching to DuckDuckGo is worth it.
Its funny you say this, I googled something before and got TWO search results...Two. The #2. I couldn't believe it, went to DuckDuckGo and Boom, pages.
EDIT: Didnt even realize I hit 2k posts. Littty

I noticed this the other day. I had the flu so I googled something about a symptom I had and it literally showed me nothing relevant which made me think it was something else... All that came up was unrelated threads by webmd and codral... I used DuckDuckGo and it showed me multiple threads about the exact symptoms and how to remedy them instantly.

Fuck Google.

I use duckduckgo on occasion but I find it has less relevant content sometimes

I also prefer to use duck duck go.
You find much better results in some questions it just gives you the most popular regardless of how specific it is to your original search
Oh Google is 100% without a doubt bias with their search results.

Back during the 2016 elections when the whole Hillary Clinton email scandal came out, when you went to go and Google her name NOTHING would come up for search suggestions. Like you said, only politically correct links and news sites really (that were mostly democratic), and just an overall VERY bias search result. Even if you were to type in "Hillary Clinton scandal" or "Hillary email" not a single search suggestion would compliment what you're actually trying to search for, it was almost like Google was doing everything in their power to keep you from seeing anything negative about her at that time.

I notice it's still the same with certain searches. I notice that they are really protecting any public figures interest.

Everyone has heard of the recent Dave Chapelle controversies surrounding his Netflix comedy special; Sticks and Stones

Now, when typing his name in on Google of course you'll get the promotional result for his current project:

Now let's add a few letters to see if the search suggestions will give us what we're OBVIOUSLY trying to type in:

Hmm, that's odd, the word "controversy" doesn't want to come up.. Maybe that's because I only put 3 letters! Let's try:

EHH, wrong again. Not even putting the majority of the word "controversy" as "controve" gives you the search suggestion. Not even when putting the WHOLE word in will it give you a suggestion, it just goes away completely as seen above. HOWEVER, what is the FIRST search result when typing in "Dave Chapelle controversy"? Oh wow! A link with the literal word "Controversy" starting the article. It's even CNN!:

Not even when the FIRST search result includes the word will they allow anyone to have a bad public image. I'm not sure what reasoning Google has behind this, however all I know is that it shouldn't be that way. The internet is a free place to search and find non-bias opinions, especially on search engines right? Not according to Google, they want to control and limit your searches to what they feel is okay and "safe" for viewers. Crazy.

Tbh, I only use google while trying to search for something over on Hackforums.

Duckduckgo hasn’t the best results, google serves me with better results..

Yes, that happens because google has the highest search volume so they have more data about what's relevant and what's not. I think that for some common topics google is better but for controversial topics duckduckgo is better.

For me the best thing would be to find a site like polycola.com or searchboth.net but with more options.

I agree, I prefer Duckduckgo overall anyway.
i use duckduckgo and im happy with it for now

>switching to DuckDuckGo is worth it

Yes, it really is!

I'll leave this here for everyone :)

Why Should I Use DuckDuckGo Instead of Google?
Duckduckgo is great for finding unbiased information but for like programming questions I feel google has crawled the internet 10x more.
I still hate google non the less, bing is just as good imo
Fuck Google. I miss 2012 YouTube so much!!! What happened to all the quality, short, and funny videos? Why’d they have to start censoring those raw, unfiltered videos? Nowadays it’s just all politically correct 10min+ videos so they get more ad money from JewTube.

I use the brave browser with duckduckgo as default search engine. I seriously feel mentally better since I made the switch
Nothing wrong with google, i wonder where all these CuckCuckGo shills come from recently

It happens whenever a company gets big enough. Probably started to get paid by a political group to hide certain posts. It's a sad world we live in today my man, and its only gonna get worse...
