DuckDuckGo

Not  Me !  Why,  Is  there  a  problem ??

I've heard of it as it has been around for a while (over 5 years). Here is a link to a 4 year old review from somebody who had used it for 12 months. Plenty of comments from others beneath the review.

I used Google to search for the review 

Thanks ET.  

ABM - I am increasingly concerned that search engines try to ‘take over’ my computer world, Google, for an example, is like a rash, it’s over everything.  Edge is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard and conflicts with my virus detection system.  I came across DDG and wondered if it was the answer.

May give it a shot on my I pad 

I've used duckduckgo many times.. You gat different results than you do with Google.. 😊 

I read that if DDG doesn't find what you want you can prefix search terms with !g and it will use Google or !w and it will search Wikipedia etc.

How weird it says you can listen to a song whilst searching but you can do this with any browser. Hmm. 

Thanks  for  the  info  OP 

I  always  find  if  I  get  one  answer  from  a  search  engine  or  such  then  I  know  whats  what,  BUT  if  I  get  two  or  more,  I'm  worse  off i.e. more  confused  than  if  I'd  never  asked  at  all  !!

I  do  that  anyway,  brue  --  but  then  I've  got  a  radio / music  box  within  arm's  reach  and  can  bung  on  whatever  I  feel  in  the  mood  for.  Right  now  its  County  Championship  Crikit ( Well  it  is  Yorkshire   )

I've got Alexa playing jazz in the background just now so I'm not running a second music session on my pc either. The trouble with Alexa is her hearing isn't too good at times! (Apologies Oneputt, this is off track. )

No problem Brue, we are having afternoon tea looking over the glorious Welch countryside, bathed in sunshine, listening to 1930/40 swing music 🎶 

OP,  my  old  lamented  pappy  would  have  liked  your  spelling  !!

He  was  conscripted  into  the  Welch  Regiment  in  1939,  but  soon  shipped  back  into  civvy  street.  Well  it  took  'em  18  months  to  discover  that  without  his  glasses  on  he  couldn't  even  see  if the sun  was  shining  !!
