In recent years, several major search engines have begun filtering or removing websites they consider inappropriate. While the intention may be rooted in user safety, it also means that search results are no longer as open or comprehensive as they once were.

During my search for a more transparent alternative, I came across DuckDuckGo. The platform is built around two principles that many users value: strong privacy protection and unfiltered search results. If you have ever struggled to find certain information on Google, Bing, or Yahoo, DuckDuckGo is worth a try. You may even find yourself using it as your default search engine.

One feature I particularly appreciate is the “OFFICIAL SITE” label that appears next to verified websites. It is a simple idea, yet incredibly useful, especially when searching for businesses or organizations that have many impersonator or lookalike sites. If you search for your bank, for example, DuckDuckGo highlights the legitimate website with an “OFFICIAL SITE” badge so you know you are clicking on a trusted link.
