So, it uses Bing to some extent, I’ll take that. But it’s not entirely Bing.
Even if a large part of DDG relies on Bing doesn’t mean they are the same. That’s an oversimplification at least.
To a great extent. To the point that search results are identical.
Since the entire topic is about the quality of results, the comparison is quite valid.
I’m going to need more than “they look similar”. I don’t think it’s a smart thing to trust random people on the internet based off their word alone.
Lots of things could seem similar when they are still very different.
I stated that they are identical, not just similar, and literally told you how to check it for yourself. Nothing is stopping you from verifying, or reading their FAQ where they even admit that they use Bing for most of their results.
Now stop acting so disingenuous.
