Antinatalism: yay or nay?
Yes. Instead of !g I use !sp every now and then. It still avoids google, somehow, but I like to stay on DDG.
Yes itās a pain, like everything privacy related.
I can accept it to a point, but I re-serch on google/startpage too often. Iād like DDG to be a bit better

Can I just mention how much I love !bangs? I wish that there was a plugin or extension that would do that

Hey @amal any chance youād be willing to do an interview with me for an English paper Iām writing?
It is on people who have found their ācallingsā and I quite think you fit that category. The audio version will be uploaded to storycorps.org

DDG has always been Wikipedia search with side search results thrown in.
Different search engines have different strong points:
- DDG over TOR it for general knowledge and semi-technical queries when I donāt mind vague answers, or having to scroll down a few pages to find what Iām after
- Google for anything with a pricetag, very obscure technical queries and hair-splitting grammar or syntax questions, or when I really have no other choice
- Qwant for stuff in French
- Bing for porn - itās not much good for anything else, but itās very good for that
Of course, with regular cookie wiping, browser fingerprinting evasion, much Noscripting and Adblocking, and a healthy dose of Tampermonkeying to stop Googleās heavy nagging.

It is - so I get all the nice google results without actually selling my data to them 
So okay for me

And Iām fine with that.
90% of my searches relate to technical stuff.
But recently DDG has begun failing to find results within wikis.
Results it used to findā¦ and now arenāt even on the top 5 pages, whilst even bing fetches them on first page. (from wikipedia, arch wiki, stack overflow, etcā¦)
Sounds like Iāll switch into your suggestion then, @Coma ! 
Itās just sad to see DDG selling out like that.
100% of my searches begin with an absolutely useless e-bay and or amazon result.
if I want to prove a pointā¦

This is what I get:
Soooā¦ since all search engines serve individual users results according to their previous searches (the so-called filter bubble), someoneās been doing some shopping 
Oh and also, āanal prolapseā is safe for work. āhot steaming interracial midget anal prolapse imagesā isnāt.

Depends where you work
I would imagine viewing images of such would be NSFW. But surely not doing a text search. Itās no different than doing a search for ankle sprain really - although I admit it might make for a cringeworthy moment if your boss drops in on you.
Or maybe you were thinking of hot steaming interracial midget anal prolapse images being safe for work in some places?

That is the first time I have EVER heard anybody say anything positive about Bing
In fairness Every time I hear people mention it is always preceeded by āFuckingā
eg.
āUgh, Fucken Bingā
Maybe I misunderstood what they were using it for

Well itās there. Might as well use it. Itās like dumpster-diving: thereās bound to be good stuff even in trash. So I dumpster-dived Bing and found the good stuff in it

I hope it is. One remarkable thing with Amal is, he walks the talk and implant a lot of his own products. So Iām guessing if thatās the wedge/slim Apex, Amal being confident enough to open himself to get it in is a good sign.
In retrospect, I realize now he never implanted a flexNExT. Shoulda spotted that flaw
