Duckduckgo Search Problems (2018)

duckduckgo vs google (2018)

After using duckduckgo.com for half a year now, it is decidedly inferior to google search. For popular simple search queries, it works fine. But if you are looking for anything weird or uncommon, google is better. I wonder how bing's doing

DuckDuckGo = lack luster (2018)

now half of the time i search something, @DuckDuckGo gives me this error:

If this error persists, please let us know: error-lite@duckduckgo.com

(this happens when I'm using brave browser with JavaScript off by default, and ddg as default search)

am thinking abandoning it.

duckduckgo is such that, if you search for something easy, something typically you'd expect from 1st result, then u get what u want. But any slightly rare search, or research, its lack luster. you resort back to google.

DuckDuckGo Image Search Problem, with JavaScript Initially Off (2019)

• one extremely annoying thing about DuckDuckGo search is that, if you have JavaScript off, you search something, then you want images, you turn on JavaScript, but now there is no way to navigate to the image search result.
• you have to start a new tab, turn on JavaScript, goto duck, then img search.
• but in brave browser, you can't start JavaScript untill a site is loaded.

both google search and bing search don't have this problem.
