Two minutes of DuckDuckGo rearranging & dropping results for the same search; Bing, Startpage, & DDG all unreliable vs. Google :( (files.catbox.moe)

Try it with this search:

an entire block of smash car windows

I’ll have to test Searx, Grasp, & Kagi. Right now I start with DDG and bang out to Google (append !g to my DDG search) at least half the time.

So note to DDG devs: those Google bang searches had results that left me disaPPOINTED !

I get the same issue all the time lately. Search, click link, go back - clicked link gone, different results shown.

I get this but never clicked link gone. Rearranged or added results.

I always use mousewheeldown click nowadays, it opens the link in a new tab.

Also mwd on the tabs themselves close the tab (without needing to hit the tiny cross).

Changed the way I browse

That's what I do on the desktop, but on mobile there's no quick way to open a new tab.
