    DDG just uses bing in the backend, so I’m somewhat unclear on why everyone is touting this as some great alternative search engine.

    Sometimes I wonder if federated compute instances not running high loads could spin spare cycles crawling/indexing.

      it’s bing with all the tracking stripped out. Essentially.

      There’s some other good things about DDG as well, but it’s not like it’s just bing.
