    DuckDuckGo not pure

    The privacy-focused DuckDuckGo browser purposely allows Microsoft trackers on third-party sites due to an agreement in their syndicated search content contract between the two companies.

    IMO since DDG went main stream it has gotten more like a data vacuum. Kinda like Gargle.

    I have switched to Brave, Qwant and Presearch for my less invasive search tools. I never create accounts with any of them either.

      DuckDuckgo is a no-go.

      Startpage is what I use.

          Startpage is Google proxy.

            What is your basis for this?

              I guess you didn't know. Yep, it's just a rebranded Google search.

                  Your guess was correct. I did not know. So is it anonymous like they claim? I know that it is in part because I use a vpn. I'm not sure if it makes a difference if Google knows what I am searching for so long as it can't be tied to me. What do you use?

                    Using the Brave browser helps block tracking cookies, but I use DDG and Qwant mostly, they are aggregators for Bing search. When I'm in Tor mode, I'll use Brave's search over Tor or DDG over Tor for more anonymization.

                      Well that figures. I was wondering how long it would take. I'll was going to start using startpage, but it sounds like that's compromised too.
