All conspiracy theories aside, there *is* something to be said about giving
Google, Facebook et al less of your personal information:

All the more reason to use duckduckgo.com.
Nice that they don't "filter or bubble" but their search algorithms are different from Google's,
which rank primarily by the number of links to each site from other pages, ie, a measure of the crowd's
assessment of importance/interest. Duckduckgo.com's results seem to favor larger "official" sites.
Maybe I'm biased: my webpage on bipolar psychopharmacology has been at the top of the results list on a
Google search for "bipolar psychopharmacology" for a number of years now, apparently because it is
linked to by many pages, but it doesn't appear on duckduckgo's results until you go way deep.
Maybe Duckduckgo.com suffers from bipolar disorder. LOL!
