I actually like duckduckgo. The privacy thing is kinda cool. But, really the only thing people want is to surf in peace and not get bugged by ads.

DuckDuckGo has survived a long time using the no cookie method. But, does that really keep the ad spamming down when a user leaves their site and starts surfing the internet?
