@RyunoKi @astro @dachary @dimitrisk@mastodon.technology @rysiek@mastodon.technology @forgefriends @forgefed I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft GitHub shows up more in DuckDuckGo, since it uses Microsoft Bing as it's engine.

Actually npm appears quite prominent (acquired by GitHub before they in turn were bought up by Microsoft)
