I was using DuckDuckGo for some time, but heard that there are better alternatives. I'm confused, because DDG is used by default in TOR browser, and other privacy respecting browsers (ex. Librewolf). Can you guys recommend any other search engine, and tell me why u recommend it?

Or, is DDG enough?

When it comes to search engines, I value not only privacy, but supporting independent indexes ans avoiding Google's monopoly.

Ddg is working in this aspect, so I consider them to be ok.

Don't they take search results from bing?

Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong

Like already mentioned, they still do, in addition to other sources, but they're also developing their own index.
