@pauamma thanks. Results seem to be unpredictable.

I guess that popular clicks on an irrelevant page will cause the irrelevant page to remain at, or near, the top.

A few hours ago (originally pictured), the irrelevant FreeBSD Project page was uppermost.

A few minutes ago, the same result was uppermost, and the summary for 'Explaining BSD' had two matches for NetBSD in the first paragraph. In the first screenshot here:

"NetBSD uses a slightly different naming scheme and appends a single-letter suffix which indicates changes in the internal interfaces, for example NetBSD 1.4.3G."

Also a few minutes ago, the irrelevant page was in second place and 'Explaining BSD' had a quite different summary with only one match for NetBSD. In the second shot here:

"The description applies most closely to FreeBSD, which accounts for an estimated 80% of the BSD installations, but the differences from NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD are small."

#DuckDuckGo

Why is the FreeBSD Project home page the top result when using DuckDuckGo to seek NetBSD in the freebsd.org domain?

<https://duckduckgo.com/?ia=web&t=h_&q=NetBSD+site%3Afreebsd.org>

There's no mention of NetBSD at the home page, or about FreeBSD:

<https://www.freebsd.org/>, <https://www.freebsd.org/about/>

Google Search results are less confused than DuckDuckGo:

<https://www.google.com/search?q=NetBSD+site%3Afreebsd.org&udm=14>

#DuckDuckGo #Google #FreeBSD #NetBSD

When I search for #homepage on #duckduckgo, the first result is #google.

Edit: this happens when I set the region to “Germany” and then turn regional search off.

Are you privacy conscious enough to want to switch away from mainstream surveillance browsers, but not quite far enough down the rabbit hole to spend your

Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong, please? I'm in the #Vivaldi browser this time. I cannot load #DuckDuckGo - nor search it from the address bar.

I can load and search using other browsers, so it's not my connection, firewall etc.

Other search engines load fine, including AstianGo.

I have not messed with the security settings in Vivaldi, except to try and whitelist DuckDuckGo to make sure it's not blocked.

Thanks!

@Vivaldi

Switched from #duckduckgo to #ecosia. Search results seem (subjectively) better, but I'm really missing the !dblp shortcut (other shortcuts exists, though). #dblp

You, too, can be a shitty cop if you use DuckDuckGo or Bing!
