    I guess their primary userbase must now be chuds angry at Google? A few years ago, I think this probably would have ended them as a company.

      Why would chuds angry at Google not be mad at this?

        They were never using DuckDuckGo for privacy cool reasons, they were mad Google was returning mean results about their big wet boy :thicc-trump:

        I think they were also mad that Mob Psycho 100 was showing up in "mob" image searches.

          That's been the primary DDG usership since forever and it overlaps with people who care about privacy and "unfettered" results quite a lot anyway.

          Uhh, could you explain the second part a bit more? Why would they be mad at those image results?

        Are you implying that I wasn't safe all these times I typed "how to do a terrorism?" and "where can I become an extremist?" into DDG?
