Who's going to finally tell them who DDG really relies on?

I get your point, but the fact remains that the interface is miles ahead of Google, just by not having all the garbage.

The results are fine for me in day to day usage and I find that Google will not provide me with better results if I cant find it on DDG.

Would it be better if they had their own indexer? Maybe...

Brave, Kagi, Neeva and Mojeek have their own indexes, I think.

I know where DDG gets the results from, but in all the years using it, it has never failed to find what I am looking for. Or, I’ve never needed to check google because DDG didn’t find what I was looking for.
