WT...?!?!? I was not aware of this!!!

Is Gigablast, really, the only "alternative"?!?!?! (in the meanwhile, since there is no advantage, i'll be back to DDG....... for the time being...)

Still, my point remains: we could, at least, have a version of DDG that would only use it's own index!!!

Isn't that possible? (I would be using it!!!)

Mojeek - totally independent, no-tracking; but I'm biased.

Mojeek is one of the very few players that are building their own index, my respects.
