I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out . So is there a better alternative or is DDG still the best ? Would appreciate if the search ingine came with firefox and i don't have to jump through hoops to use it. I moved the post from ask lemmy to here .And also i deleted the post from ask lemmy because i thought it wasn't the appropriate sub (i know should've thought of that before posting )

DDG is still the best.

Stop asking this same question repeatedly.

I have the idea DDG (or Bing which powers it) is getting worse, if you search for items, you first get a load of webstores selling that item and a Wikipedia article might show up on page 2 at best.

Yeah it's definitely taken a sharp nosedive over the past 9 months.

They really need to prioritize Wikipedia in general, but, also, maybe I just need to make Wikipedia my homepage instead.

Use !w in front of your ddg search to search Wikipedia.
