I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out . So is there a better alternative or is DDG still the best ? Would appreciate if the search ingine came with firefox and i don't have to jump through hoops to use it. I moved the post from ask lemmy to here .And also i deleted the post from ask lemmy because i thought it wasn't the appropriate sub (i know should've thought of that before posting )

They block Tor/VPNs.

Proton user here, never had a problem with that.

The only problem is that apparently startpage was purchased by an advertising company, which seems like an awful match.

I'm on a VPN (Mullvad) and not blocked by Startpage.

They blocked my IP Vanish VPN which is why I moved away from them to Kagi.

Given the other comments about VPN's it sounds like it's not consistent.
