Alternately, it may counter incentives towards digital monopolies.

I’m not convinced that large amounts of personal data is required for search to work well, at the very least I’m not convinced the personal data must leave an individuals control.

We don’t see a lot of innovation in this direction as hyper personalized search seems to work reasonably well and the startup costs to compete are massive.

I’d love it if Duck Duck Go would let me assign priority to websites. Prefer Wikipedia, GitHub, StackOverflow over spammy copy cats. Maybe the ability to flag results as spammy copy cats would also be nice.
