This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Looking over their Wikipedia page, DDG looks like they're reasonably independent.

Why is everyone saying they're just Bing?

DDG gets its results from other search engines. Bing is one of them.

There was also a big thing about DDG allegedly selling user data to Microsoft, which the living brain donors of 4chan probably interpreted as DDG being a different front-end to Bing.

I have heard about them selling search data to bing. While concerning, I don't think that's quite the same thing. I get how 4Chan could blow that out of proportion.
