Google are removing URLs entirely from search results?

Re:Google are removing URLs entirely from search results? by tarsinge on Saturday November 02, 2019 @11:58AM (#21428348)

Same here, switched my default search engine to DDG a few months and it took only a few days to get used to it. So much that I was very surprised to discover that I know dislike Google results UI (something I never imagined could happen). I still fallback to Google for advanced search (usually technical subjects) with !g but in the majority of common searches the DDG default results are what I expect.

Seriously to all people thinking there is no alternative give it a try, I switched my family and they don’t see a difference.

DDG should seriously drop the infinite scrolling on their results page. It's so annoying, even Google tried it once and gave up on it.

You can easily disable that here, among other handy settings:

This looks to be a setting you can change in their "Other Settings" page.

>I know dislike Google results UI

I use DDG as a default search engine for a while, but fell back to google search often, because I felt that Google results are better. At some point i enabled a stylesheet which made DDG results look like google's. And the search results improved significantly. I stopped using Google search for anything other than Google maps.
