Many don’t know about DuckDuckGo and even more don’t care.
I should say that DuckDuckGo is generally much more strongly censored and controlled than Google.
This won’t affect people in say, the US.
But in many places around the world (like my country of South Korea), using DuckDuckGo is not realistic as a daily driver without using a VPN or making heavy use of the “!g” bang to fall back to Google (which doesn’t blanket censor words).
Overall it makes it less accessible.
And I know, part of the reason people use DuckDuckGo in the first place is to avoid region-aware results.
But that does not change their censorship policies.
