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.

          Would it help turning on the setting to have the links always open in a new tab?
          It’s been a long time since I used ddg, but I believe they have the option in their settings page, most search engines do.

            While this is not a bad shout, I hate that this rearranging logic has made it to production in the first place. Ddg should really know better.
