@Haxk20 I transfered the search engine to DDG now,.
Love when i type ddg.gg in the url and it goes to duckduckgo.com. :D -
@-vim- But no features.... Really want to contribute, but they currently don't have plans to accept PR in their android app

PAKA8887yI tried but DDG search results are just useless comparing to Google when looking for IT related stuff.

@PAKA IT related stuff is actually often easier found via ddg, where ddg really gets smoked by google is calculations (e.g as simple as 20% of 20$ or "20% of (20$ in yen)") displaying plots etc.
Was over at a friend's place for the first time in months again to just have a few drinks and some good time with two of my best friends when I wanted to show them a website.
Had my own phone turned off (NO phone use while socializing for me!) so asked one of them (the one who's still finding his way around the concept of online privacy) for their phone so I could show it.
He uses loads of Google things so I started to look for the chrome icon. Swiping all ways but couldn't find it... then suddenly:
DuckDuckGo search/browser icon!
😵😯
Me: dude the what?! YOU using a more privacy conscious browser?!?!?!
Friend: well, Google doesn't need to know EVERYTHING I search for online so I looked if ddg had an app and voila!
Me: de damn! And, how do you like it?
Friend: the results are good so nothing to complain about!
I'm proud of you, mate!
