DuckDuckGo is fantastic on mobile (iPhone). It feels way faster than Google for me — part of that is not getting the "Can I use your location?" pop-ups which then trigger a re-search.

Plus there's no AMP junk in the results! And links are real links — when you copy them you get the URL, not some huge tracking string.

Occasionally I've felt like I'm not getting good results so have gone to Google to repeat the search. There hasn't yet been a case where that's helped, so I've stopped doing it.

From a buiness IP address - "searching from: small business park, tiny region, city outskirts". "Google would like to know your location: allow/deny".

You'd like my permission to know it, while making it perfectly clear you already know. Creeps me out, like a Hollywood film mob intimidation tactic.

switched to google on mobile recently, due to DDG only option of infinite scroll. it makes 'back' useless.

now i am back to google on desktop as well. it is markedly better than DDG for the searches I'm doing anyway.

Settings are on the right, other settings, disable auto-load.

I hate infinite scroll.
