    The rise of DuckDuckGo


    The rise of DuckDuckGo because of people doesn't want being tracking online. I still prefer Google what do you think guys?

    I've tried, and am trying again DuckDuckGo but I keep going back to Google as the results are just not as good. Wish they were as I would love to dump Google but then I'd have to find a replacement for gmail as well.

    I liked DDG till is started to censor results, but I guess that is inevitable these days.
    Anyway I use it just so search results would mess up my google related services.

    With a marketshare of around 0.5%? hardly a rise as you call it, more like treading water before they drown.

    0.5% that puts it just behind Ask Jeeves and that closed down 15 years ago

    You can actually turn off google from tracking your information. I let it track because I find the history of items helpful, such as if I can't recall something I searched for & visited one day. The password saving also really comes in handy. All I really need to have is Ublock and not worry about any ads.

    For those worried about google tracking things, simply turn it off. And yes you can turn off ad personalization as well on that very same page.

    I came across DuckDuckGoog a while ago. I don't know how legit it is in using duckduckgo's privacy on google search results.

    I use Chrome for all my Google related stuff with only ublock origin as an ad blocker. For all my un-Google stuff, I use FireFox. So Chrome has Google search, and FireFox uses DDG.

    I have no idea if this is better or not but if I can make some 3 letter agency's life a little harder, my work is done...
