    I use exclusively ddg, but I would like to hear what they've been doing for the past 10 years if they only now decided that having their own search would be a good idea.

    And what a weird timing. In my view LLMs are going to kill (large parts / most of) search. NOW is when you decide to build search?

    Anyway, I will definitely watch, thanks for sharing.

      Same here exclusive ddg user. Sounds like they already have like a diff of bing's results versus their own and are ready to launch. That said, I was really disappointed video did not show an actual duck working in leadership
