I noticed a while ago that a collegue and I got different results when we googled for our company name, but I didn't know that it's now happening in such an extent.

I've added DuckDuck to my FireFox search engines.

I've set it as default on Chrome. Maybe google is better - I'll get more python libraries and less news stories about sheep (or Darwin laureates) getting swallowed by pythons, but I can live with that. Besides, I'm pretty good at typing "google" if I need it.

You can just add !g to the end (or beg) of your search and it will take you right there.

Actually, this is super handy! When I know I want the wikipedia article I just add !w at the end.

Ditto for youtube (!yt) etc etc

fyi, you can also use !v to search youtube via ddg ('v' for video)

It's not happening to any extent, it's just a new FUD concept that is meant to sell books an confuse people, if you seek more info you can dig deeper into any set of initial results. Personalization == relevance.

That's funny, when I search for "filter bubble" I can't find anyone refuting it.
