I’ve been using duckduckgo for years ever since I degoogled but I’m increasingly annoyed by its complete lack of IPv6 connectivity. I use NAT64 and so it works fine but it bothers me to use services that don’t have v6. Does someone have a good non-google IPv6 search engine that’s privacy respecting?

    To be honest lack of IPv6 support is a petty reason not to use them

    For people like us (IPv6 advocates), moving away from IPv4-only services is just like voting with our wallet. Well, except that the flow we are looking at is not money flow, but internet traffic instead.

    Obviously such a movement is not going to make a huge dent in the grand scheme of things – very few people care about the internet protocol they are using. But the idea is that it will eventually end up in someone’s log that, a lack of IPv6 support is driving customers away and/or implementation of IPv6 support is attracting new customers.

    Also, it doesn’t hurt anyone else except us when we purposefully move away from IPv4-only services even though the IPv6-capable services are worse ;) Anecdotally speaking though, that’s a rare case.
