My biggest pain point with Duck is that the minus operator doesn't seem to do anything. Have to use Startpage (
!s) when in need of excluding a word.Double quotes also didn’t work to apply explicit phrase searches last time I tried, which is incredibly annoying. Last I heard they were looking into fixing this though
The bigggest beauty point of it is that you can click on adverts knowing that you're sending money to Duck instead of evilCorp.
Also why, even if you know you're going to have to go to Amazon for something, you should search for it in your less evil search engine of choice so that Amazon are forced to pay them for the referral. A small way to assuage the guilt, but a goodun.
