I’ve been using DuckDuckGo and not really missing google. I hope people start to use it less. I’m helping with our work machines and even though we need to use Chrome I’m going to encourage us to switch the default search engine to DDG.

This is such a dumb take from Google. "Oh yeah? Well all this stuff we do isn’t worth doing anyway!”, your shareholders cool with that chief?

Or is it possible that this limited study that only targeted a handful of countries and only included one of the three biggest economies - which was then removed from the test without reason - is a load of PR horse shit thrown out in a limp attempt to sway public sentiment for political sway?
