It's Bing without tracking. And the things like quotation marks still work. However, baseline search using it has still gone to shit.

Did it used to be better? I rarely if ever used it before Google's enshittification, but now I'm just happy to find ~~streaming services~~ whatever I need.

It did, but Bing hiked their prices so it got shitty.

Oh, "it" meaning Bing then, not DDG. Although I thought Bing had always been free... shows what I "know"!:-P

DDG uses Bing on the backend, and they have to pay for each query, so Bing affects DDG

Oh damn, thanks for the explanation! 😀
