Re: Search engine ?
DuckDuckGo suddenly suffered from a case of the googles, so I dropped it.

Re: Search engine ?
I'm also happily using Google as my browser search engine, I don't use Google Chrome though I stick to Vivaldi on Desktop and Edge on Android.

You do realise that they still store your search history on their servers, don't you?

What do you mean by this?
I've been using DuckDuckGo for quite a few years now, after finding it was the default search engine on some RaspberyPi's we got at work.

Results started appearing at the top of each search that were obviously sponsored. I often had to move to page 2 for relevant sites.
