By browsers do you mean search engines in the browsers? I use DDG for search. Firefox is king, browsers wise.
Yes, I meant search engine. I also use Firefox as well :)
I thought DDG was some kind of front end for Google search. How wrong am I, and if I'm right, does this mean it's the Google search in, e.g., Chrome browser that's doing this? Otherwise how would DDG be avoiding it?
I thought it was Bing? I’m not sure lol. I’ve noticed the drop in Google searches quality lately and switched to DDG.
Seems much better now imo.
You are correct. Bing.
I could be completely wrong, may the gods of the Internet forgive me.
