DuckDuckGo

Recently I found a new search engine for those of us in the techie type industries. DuckDuckGo.com. What I really like about it so far is that it’s keeping me out of what is known as Bubbling. Plus it has handy search for things like hex color codes, ascii tables, instant Lorum Ipsum, and math calculations.

It isn’t that Google doesn’t have any of this or access to it but with Facebook and Google doing a ton of tracking these days it’s nice to know there is still a place to do clean searching.

Since you mentioned this search engine, I've switched my browser's default one to it and it's been great. I even emailed them to ask what the corresponding term was for "Googling" and they replied "Duck it!"

I especially like search results like this .. http://duckduckgo.com/?q=texas+rangers

Pure awesome.

Nice! Check out the free stuff too. They will send you stickers and other cool stuff. Yeah I switched chrome to this and love it so far. You can also search the other engines using the "!bang" command but I have not used it too much yet.
