I haven’t had any of these problems while using DuckDuckGo.com

Yeah, I've been sporadically trying them out for many many years and never lasted a week, until last year. I use DDG exclusively since half a year now and rarely even feel compelled to use !g google redirect. Congrats @yegg and the team!

  • I tried the same but I still find myself using !g all the time when I really want to find something.

I love DDG, but

1) there are plenty of Pinterest results in DDG image searches.

2) there are plenty of irrelevant results in the image search (above [IBM leapfrog] returns many that aren't about the IBM leapfrog)

3) You have to clicky each image to bring up the card to find out what site it's pointing too. The site isn't shown in the status bar when you hover on the image link. Two of these links go to Pinterest:
