I'd gladly use DDG but they still suck compared to Google when it comes to searching for anything dev related.

#182I've tried to use DuckDuckGo a few times now - I really wish that they would write their own indexer and maintain their own index, it frustrates me that they rely on the Bing Index - which frequently favours low quality SEO optimised content or doesn't have the result you are looking for on the first page...
Each time I find myself going back to Google as it frequently surfaces the result I'm looking for on the first page.

#183To the webmasters here on HN: Do you see this reflected in higher user numbers coming from DuckDuckGo over time? I run a website too. Let me check the stats... So according to Google Analytics over the last 30 days, 0.7% of my visitors came from DDG. Not bad. That is more then half of Bing, from which 1.2% of my visitors come. Over time, the DuckDuckGo trend does not look as exponential as in their chart though. More…
In December:
1. Google (82.75%) 2. Direct (6.33%) 3. Bing (3.63%) 4. DuckDuckGo (1.85%) 6. Yahoo (0.94%)
Kind of upsetting that as of January 1st my website was delisted from Bing + DuckDuckGo for no apparent reason meaning that my traffic is down by 5%. If anyone has any contacts within the Bing team I'd be really interested to know why my site was removed.

As a music listener I love YouTube music app, it's great being able to listen to almost anything I want in high quality any time.
When I tried it, I couldn't deal with it auto-generating a 'related' playlist whenever I played anything. (I pay for YT Premium, so if I could use YT Music then I wouldn't have to pay for Spotify.) How did you deal with that problem?
To get around that go to the artist and start a song from their top playlist or an album and it will just play their songs.

Is it still running ok. Didn’t the main instance shutdown or something? Sorry, I forget the specifics.
The instance of the original dev has shut down because he seized developement, but the project ist still doing fine. There's multiple public instances, but those are often unable to handle all user requests and get rate limited by google every now and then. I'm currently using invidious.tube, it has a good "real" uptime in my opinion (the site is up the whole time but might have issues like described above). I'm cons…
I see. Thanks for your reply.
