As I’ve said twice already now: DDG is a shitty name for those of us might want to use the company name as a verb.

My comment is no more profound than that.

I’m not making any comment about social norms. And nor am I saying it’s impossible to describe searching for content online without “verbing” the company name.

I’m just saying DDG is hard to use as a verb.

Edit: I did say “adverb” in my previous comment. Obviously I meant “verb”. My painkillers hadn’t kicked in yet so excuse the faux pas there.
