I use #duckduckgo on my phone but there is a reason that it is not widely adopted: its search results sucks. You cannot imagine how many times I am forced to put that g! in the search.
This is not a complaint just for the sake of complaining, this is me saying that we really need better search engines that are privacy-oriented.
P.s: I added Searx to show that because it uses duckduckgo as a source, the results are terribly off.

Earlier this year, two researchers from the university of Minnesota released a paper detailing how they had submitted known security vulnerabilities to the Linux kernel in order to show how potentially malicious code could get through the approval process. Now, after another student submitted code that reportedly does nothing, kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman has banned the University from contributing to the Linux kernel project.

A hacker compromised the server used to distribute the PHP and added a backdoor to source code that would have made websites vulnerable to complete takeover, members of the open source project said.
Two updates pushed to the PHP Git server added a line that, if run by a PHP-powered website, would have allowed visitors with no authorization to execute code of their choice.
