I've been wanting for something like this ever since we by accident looked at our 9 year old daughter's screen. She likes to draw characters from her favorite cartoon and searches for images on the web. Apparently there's a porn actress with the same name as one of the characters... DDG was set to "strict", so no full nudity or any explicit act, but still very NSFW.

DDG is kind of fascinating. Ever since I switched to DDG as my main search engine, I feel like the internet is 90% porn. Although that's probably not far off, I'd prefer seeing relevant search results instead.

Far from that bad IMHO, but it has a weird tendency to surface NSFW results, yes.

Its not that bad with the regular search results. Sometimes porn makes it to the first result page, usually its on the second or later.

The real problem is when searching for images. I recently had to search for a lot of images and for basically any search term I entered DDG was able to find porn. Ultimately, this made me switch back to Google since constantly having to risk showing NSFW results on your workplace in an open plan office isn't exactly a great experience.

I'm now using Google at work, Ecosia on my mobile phone and DDG/Google on my PC/Mac.

yeah, I think that is because Bing provides (some/a lot/all?) of their image results and Bing seems to have tried to maximize their porn results.

Both of those ideas are heresay/rumor.
