Search engines like Google track and bubble you. What does this mean? It means they create a filter based on what you like, so they can serve you advertisements. It also contributes to the search results you see. They keep track of what you like and hide what you don’t like.

Besides respecting your privacy, DuckDuckGo has some serious utility. The most notable utility is their !Bang syntax. This syntax allows you to execute commands to DDG directly, and have it do things. Want to search for a YouTube video? Try the “!yt” command. Doing so will scour YouTube directly. This makes searching anything feel great, and infinitely useful.
