I switched to ddg to try it out, and am still using it, mostly because of the bang syntax, not because its general search results are better than Google's, or because of privacy concerns (as long as you tell google not to remember your search history I'm not too worried...).


you can't tell google not to remember your search history...

you can only tell them not to personalize your search results with your search history.

you don't need to be worried, just aware that unless you put effort into it, pretty much everything you do on the web is knowable by google.
