Ddg is a web search engine. So <search engine> for Mac seems like a type error.
The linked page tells you that they are hiring, and how to install the project, but /not what it is/.
It makes sense for anything that wants to compete with Google to also offer a desktop and mobile a browser.
You'll never guess the one trick I used to find that. They don't want you to know.
Ddg is the search engine. Ddg for mac/Windows is the browser.
DDG has really dropped off in quality over the last couple of years. I'm about ready to try that paid search engine that keeps being mentioned here on HN.
Realistically I think it has more to do with the terms your searching for, and not necessarily if one search engine is worse hit by spam, AI or otherwise.
DDG and Google are both open when I'm looking for stock images for flash cards.
I switched to a different search engine (brave) to get away from it, the result quality seems about the same for english, but not as good for other languages- it's not amazing but it'll do
Over the last 12 months or so I was getting that problem with Google, but they seem to have realised that a lot of people were saying that and changed. Whatever Google did wrong for my searches a year ago — and perhaps even that was "not keeping ahead in the race against hostile SEO" — it's entirely possible DDG is doing wrong for your searches right now.
TIL blacklist and whitelist are racist. Even though if you look at the etymology they're not. Meh.
