DuckDuckGo is the best search engine I've ever used.
1. Privacy: It's super private, with almost no trackers whatsoever. In addition, you get detailed analysis of what trackers got blocked.
2. Features: DuckDuckGo is more feature packed than Google search. You get bangs! like !w and !g that let you automatically use another search engine. In addition, DuckDuckGo has a fantastic email privacy service that lets you generate infinite emails, and an Android tracking protector that blocks tracking on your Android apps
3. Search Results: This can be a mixed bag. DuckDuckGo usually has good results, and often ones that you couldn't get to with Google or Bing, but they can be a bit unhelpful at times. This has been steadily improving as I've used the service though.
Thanks for the response. DDG was unfortunately spotted censoring search results

Yeah, I know. The thing is, they have so far been very transparent and up front about what they do and do not downrank. Plus, I have no qualms with a private search engine choosing to do this. If that is a problem for you then, by all means, use a different engine. I just appreciate their honesty in how they craft results
