Why you should use DuckDuck Go instead of Google

Post by Anchor Moy »

Have you moved on from Google ? I changed to DDG recently. It's a little different but I am happy with it so far.
This is a bit of a plug for DDG but interesting:

Please ignore phuketrichard's post as he is unable to post due to server problems.

BTW, Opera SUCKS!

I don't like it on my tablet. Come to think of it, I don't like any Android browser except Chrome. On laptop it serves my purposes as secondary browser, especially when I need to go to DDG. I've tried maybe 8 Android browsers and they all suck. BOFH, what would you suggest ? Nexus 7 2nd gen. Thanks.

I agree. I'm always trying other browsers, always come back to Chrome unless there's a need for flash (rare) then Dolphin, but too many annoyances with other browsers.
