Recently switched over to DuckDuckGo on all my devices. Tried to do the same thing several years ago and found it didn't really work out, but this time around it is so much better, both when it comes to speed and results.

If anyone has doubts because they tried it years ago, I'd say go for it again.

Same story here.

And since I regularly browse via a Digital Ocean VM, the lack of CAPTCHAs on DuckDuckGo is refreshing as well.

Might be an interesting article, but that position:fixed footer with ongoing animations is just too atrocious.

On mobile it asks for an email in a persistent footer that takes up 1/3 of the screen. When you type a fake email (there is no way to remove it) it brings up another footer asking if you would like to have such a footer on your own website ( also unremovable). Thank God for reader mode.

That's what Developer Tools are for! ;)

In Chrome, you can right click and select "Inspect" and then remove the relevant content from the display. :)

Other browsers have "reading mode" which tends to work well for this type of thing.
