Duck Duck Go is garbage, I’ve tried to stick with it, but I really need something better. Ugh. Not going to use G, tho.

I just added some search engine recommendations to the lists.d repo
For this initial version, there are some interesting contenders:
#DuckDuckGo just to be mentionted as one of the few mid search sites that can be used over @torproject / #Tor and is the #TorBrowser default search.
#Ahmia which is an independently run #SearchEngine that crawls Tor but filters out the nastiest parts.
@monocles / #monoclesSearch because it is a "hybrid aproach" doing #searx + filling the gaps with DuckDuckGo.
@clew, (made by @amin ) which has it's own index but also includes "#bangs" to use external sites. It's focussed on speed and privacy.
#FrogFind (by @ActionRetro ) also got listed because it's not just a #WebProxy for #VintageComputers but also able to search DuckDuckGo...
