I was using DuckDuckGo for some time, but heard that there are better alternatives. I’m confused, because DDG is used by default in TOR browser, and other privacy respecting browsers (ex. Librewolf). Can you guys recommend any other search engine, and tell me why u recommend it?

Or, is DDG enough?

I’m not sure I’m following, so I’ll answer the question for both of the ways I can interpret that question.

If you mean to use site: operator in your <favorite-search-engine>, I don’t think you can.

You can use it to choose your instance once, but why not to always use it?

You can use it in the URL bar. Except the domain itself, the rest of the URL is remaining the same.

https://gооglе.соm/search?q=nyan cat would become https://farside.link/whoogle/search?q=nyan cat.

(You can do https://search.garudalinux.org/search?q=nyan cat, but Farside is fantastic.)

Whoa that’s awesome! Think this might be a better solution than LibRedirect for me.
