For me it's the classic interface of Startpage (that is, Ixquick). I can't stand the "modern" interface (which I suspect is optimized for mobile), therefore I explicitly use classic.startpage.com. It seems that duckduckgo has the same "modern" interface. I just don't like it if titles get abbreviated when they span less than half the available horizontal space (and even for titles longer than horizontal space, I really prefer wraparound to shortening).

That's not what I complained about. It's the layout of the results page, which for duckduckgo has the same problems that the modern Startpage results page has.
Try here [startpage.com] to see the difference (enter some search terms to see the results page). Make sure to try it on a desktop computer.

I've been using the "simple" interface of duckduckgo for this reason.
