Is that the problem you are concerned about?
well, yes. because it is possible to avoid these sites for only one
session using duckduckgo. the next session one must again block out
these sites. that is cumbersome and annoying allthough i understand
that duckduckgo somehow must get paid for.
How do you block out those search results? Do you put something in the
search that says something like "not:<advertising_site.com>?
.........well: on the right side on top of the duckduckgo page you see/find
four small lines. touch these and you see a row with further
possibilities. One of these possibilities is the english equivalent of
'overige instellingen'(dutch): something like 'remaining settings' click
on these 'settings' and you see another row with advertenties (dutch)
advertisement i guess in english. click once on advertisement (or
whatever) to put them off ('uit' in dutch). if you put your browser off
and afterwards on again you must repeat this imho tedious process to pue
them off again and so on. that's it and i hope i am clear enough.
Ahh, ok, I never knew that was there. I turned it off on a DDG page, and then
clicked save. I'll see if it works, and then see if it works again after I
restart Firefox -- but it may be a long time until I find out, as I keep my
browser up until it crashes (and sometimes have 1000 or more tabs open) --
usually I can recover those, but I prefer not to try it unless I have to.
