I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out . So is there a better alternative or is DDG still the best ? Would appreciate if the search ingine came with firefox and i don’t have to jump through hoops to use it. I moved the post from ask lemmy to here .And also i deleted the post from ask lemmy because i thought it wasn’t the appropriate sub (i know should’ve thought of that before posting )

    I like DogPile. It lets you get results from Yahoo! directory, Lycos, Excite, WebCrawler, Infoseek, AltaVista, WhatUSeek, and HotBot.

    AskJeeves works pretty well too.

        I guess you could say the same about AskJeeves since they rebranded as just Ask.

        I miss those days of the internet.

          Me too. I’m personally not going to stop using ddg because it’s a losing battle. It won’t be long before the next little search engine sells out.
