Yes I’ve tried it. I’m simply saying it’s not just “not google or microsoft”. If one’s goal was to avoid MSFT completely, then something like Brave Search would be preferable to them. If your only goal was privacy-respecting search, then DDG would suffice.
It uses bing’s search index though…
It uses a combination of search indexes including their own.
okay. have you tried it? the index isn’t representative of the algorithm and IMHO the results are way better on ddg

ah okay, yeah I agree.
The index is one thing and how you query it is another
