    A ton of what my team does involves internet research, and you're exactly correct about all of that. Try DuckDuckGo and [turns head, hides eyes, mumbles] Bing.

    Lol, Bing.
    Duckduckgo is a solid choice

    DDG is my default search engine actually. And I refuse to use Bing. Tried it a few years ago and it was horrible.

    DDG is just an anonymous Google search right? At least it used to be. Do they have their own logic now?

    Finally home. Got a bunch of laundry to do, and a pug for a shadow. Life is good. :)

    saved $50 on a Garmin InReach mini for my wife, which never goes on sale. But I was going to buy one anyway. Otherwise, meh...

    I switched to Edge from Chrome about a year ago and Bing was the default. I didn't notice it being much different than Google, but I might give DDG a spin.

    Most of what our research points at is Microsoft stuff, so Bing isn't the worst choice for gleaning decent results. But I can't speak to random topics, because I don't use it for other topics. And I only use it when the aforementioned Google ad storm or 4-pages-deep paid results annoy me.

    It's better than it was, and for the technical topics I use it for, it does fine. Worth a try if Google is annoying; but if you like DDG, there might not be a need.

    To my knowledge it has it's own engine. I never heard it had been an overlay to Google.

    I usually use Ecosia for simple stuff that doesn't matter but it can't seem to find a lot of websites that I know exist. Car dealerships' sites in particular seem to be a problem.

    Looks like Ecosia has Bing under the hood. So does DDG... Who knew?

    I shoveled last night, and then sounds like we have a pretty good sized storm coming so will be shoveling for the next couple of nights.

    Right, but even then the question would be "does that have the 5.7?"
