So. I’ve been using startpage for a while and was wondering if it were better over DuckDuckGo ?

    As an alternative for both, try searXNG.

    https://searx.space/ for instances.

    https://github.com/searxng/searxng for the code, you can run your own instance.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG for the wikipedia article.

    Personally, I find it returns much better results than anything currently available elsewhere. It reminds me of a time when search actually worked. Also, no ads and no tracking.

    BTW, different instances can supply poorer results than others, so shop around to find the best one for you.

        I don’t believe you are. I’m not certain it’s been implemented… yet.

        The entire Fediverse is a work in progress. It’s just better than the alternatives.
