I love DDG, mostly because you can tell it’s a company that’s actually trying to be what its users want. No AI? Fine. No JS? Also fine. Want to use POST instead of GET so your search queries don’t show up in your browsing history? You can even do that.

For the longest time, tech companies have had that attitude they should be able to dictate how you use their service, rather than providing the kind of service that you, the user, want.

It’s refreshing at least one company that’s finally bucking that trend.
