It’s impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

      I unknowingly downloaded some software from there when I was a kid, and, from what I remember, it came bundled with some sort of update manager or something. Even if it’s not outright malware, I would wager most people who are looking to download logitech’s utility don’t want some irrelevant third-party garbage on their system. So AT BEST it’s crapware / bloatware

        They had some issues with their downloader in the past but that thing has been canned a long time ago. It’s not a great site but it isn’t malware.
