It’s a win for Google.

The government’s antitrust case against Google just got significantly smaller. In a filing on Friday, a US district court judge dismissed several of the claims that the Department of Justice and a coalition of states brought against the company, including allegations that Google Search harms competing services.

        My chief complaint about DDG is excluding a term from a query rarely works. The “-” tag is not reliable.

          Yeah, I looked it up the other day and apparently it only gives less results with words flagged with “-”. It’s stupid because a few years ago there was syntax to exclude a term completely, so it’s definitely possible to do. I don’t understand why they just won’t.
