Thanks! I realized a while ago that I don't use google, so why should I recommend it to others, even in passing.

OK. But you should have said Bing

The user interface I use and recommend to others is Duck Duck Go. Why would I recommend using Bing directly?

[cambalache]

Because that is the engine, the cosmetic is irrelevant. Unless you are choosing for the interface but that is not the concern of 99% of the people. We need a real independent searcher

I use DDG for the fact that it provides a privacy layer over Bing.

There are of corse Yacy and other more independent options, but they aren't ready for most people.
