Doesn't it use Bing results, like DuckDuckGo does? I read it's hosted on MS Azure like Bing and DDG, so in the end it's somewhat just a rebranded Bing. Quite a shame for a European (Franco-German) search engine.


Even if they were just a proxy behind bing, that would be still good, weren’t it?


Well, claiming to offer an alternative to the GAFAM while depending on their products / data / infrastructure is a bit misleading.

So indeed they're doing okay privacy wise, but a lot of users feel cheated when they realize their "independent search engine" (DuckDuckGo) is just a Bing portal hosted on Azure.
