    Eh… Give DDG the ad revenue?

    They aren’t user tracking ads, they’re just contextual to the search, easily ignorable. I like whitelisting upstanding sites like that.

      Ehh… No thank you. I want to have a neutral search result.

      If you ignore the ads and are never clicking on them, DDG most likely doesn’t get any revenue anyways.

      Okay, but then it’s weird to complain that DDG is “just like other browsers” because it has ads in the place where ads go.

          Sorry, I misspoke. I meant it’s weird to complain that it’s like other search engines because it shows ads if you’re deliberately enabling the ads to support them.

            I think they’re complaining because they don’t know the context. DDG let’s you turn them off really easily. If they knew about that setting it would be them literally choosing to have their results look exactly like that and complaining about it.

      with AdBlock the ad still loads, it’s only hidden for you. Also you probably have to click one IT to create revenue for DDG
