Search is hard
Good call though, I’ve done comparisons and it’s very Bingy though not 1:1 - search operators behave differently IIRC (quotation marks)

Oh so you want me to spend an extra fraction of a second to avoid an absolute privacy nightmare that could follow me around for the rest of my life?! (including potential price discrimination stealing e.g. a better retirement from me)
😉 thanks for testing!
Good question, something I wondered about after I posted.
Nope - OK, you know what helps?
Searching via the DDG site and then tapping images. Apparently I typed “reavers gif !ddgi” to save the tap and it does a hidden spelling correction to “reverse”?!
One mystery solved!
Edit: annotation in a dark font due to iOS 18 Markup bug, sorry it’s hard to see there in the upper right
And it’s different now! Reminded of how DDG rearranges search results when opening a result link, then hitting back, but much more extreme.

Using a fresh [cookie-isolated] private tab for every search and going through iCloud Private Relay… I still have no doubt they still manage it. Sigh. Those “am I unique?” browser fingerprinting tests still show I’m unique, perhaps due to having an extension or two installed on Safari? Creepy.
OK, I feel better now. On searxng.site, I disabled all engines except for Google and I’m getting results similar to in my OP.
You’re right :) Dumb little joke about the show I shoehorned in.
For context, DuckDuckGo is my default search engine. I do at least a dozen searches every day. Approximately 90% of the time, I use a bang (!g) to punch out to Google and receive results I perceive to be of higher quality 99% of the time. I am absolutely elated when I hit the back button because DDG had a better result in the top 3.
It decided not to do a hidden autocorrect to reverse this time:
(Same everything (new private tab), just zoomed out.)
Hmm!
A small smirk with eyes averted is much more appropriate.
(Smirk’s just a bit of an expected reaction given the odd design)
Is this an actual edge case?:
Someone whose hard drive is full and buys a bunch of new games and wants to go play PS5 at a cabin in the woods
Desktop mode plus zoom out on iOS, sometimes… then over to a desktop browser app when that falls. Sigh
Nice Unicode brah
Don’t think I’ve seen that character before
Oh it’s U+2611 : BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK? Perhaps just without one trailing emoji selector…

Wild. “could not escape” him & his network, one victim said.
Fortunately, Lifeward eventually capitulated and Straight was able to get his exoskeleton repaired — but that was only after an intense campaign in which he went on local TV, got highlighted in a horse industry publication, and gained steam on social media. If it weren’t for that, he could still be struggling to find a way to get his mobility back again.
Uhg, needed bad PR before they changed their mind
It is a little silly that a responsible consumer should find a guide online…
…when it that knowledge could be baked into the label.

I do wish it were possible to make iOS more free. With that said, is it a fair comparison to draw when someone only knows how to use a VPN if it’s in the App Store, whether Apple’s or Google Play?
So novices on either platform are harmed by lessened app availability even while both could be instructed to set a VPN up in settings or sideload an app.
Now if it’s a TOR browser or something, that’s a big L for Apple.

Getting good at queries, I’m down for that, thanks 🙂
