I spent a few hours using Duck Duck Go before commenting. It's been my Chrome default search for 4 hours.

• The results are less relevant. Bubble or no, it was harder to find things I look for all the time. For example I had to constantly add the word Seattle to my search terms.

• It felt like an old search engine. The results, the display, the choice of Mapquest maps all made me feel like I was using Yahoo or even early Google.

• At first the feeling of not being watched was liberating but I forgot about it very quickly.

I'm going to continue using it as my default search for the lack of tracking but Iv'e already had to go to Google a few times to find what I was looking for. Convenience over privacy right?
