Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

But it doesn't track you. So, better Privacy
ublock origin says otherwise
How so? It existed before bing.
They have changed the way they gather results since they first launched.
Ok so it's a bing proxy basically?
It used to be Google search without the extras.
DDG uses Bing for 100% of its results.
Interesting, when DDG fails to give me anything worth while, I go to Bing and usually get what I'm looking for.
People use bing? I find the results just like a dogs breakfast. Such a mess.
I use bing more and more. It's not fantastic but feels like it's on track to be ome better than google.
No it is not as has been disproven several times in this thread alone. Stop parroting this. Go track down a source and see how many other have disproven it.

DuckDuckGo founder is Gabriel Weinberg.
"Previously, we were limited in how we could apply our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection on Microsoft tracking scripts due to a policy requirement related to our use of Bing as a source for our private search results," Weinberg writes.
So if the founder is saying they use Bing as their source of search results, I would love to see your evidence of how DuckDuckGo isn't using Bing and is disproven how that idea.
