so how is yippe financed?
I have been using StartPage. Does anyone have any information on whether or not they are capturing or sharing user information?
Google buys any start up that tries to compete with it. That’s why I laughed at all the “principled conservatives” who told us, early on, to “start your own Google/Facebook”, etc. when we say the growing threat. I’m talking to you Mike Lee, your vaccine damaged whacko.
found that DuckDuckGo donates heavily to far left wing causes and takes money from anti-American billionaire George Soros.
Suspect? Prove it. Otherwise this is just about as useful as an anoymouse source.
Cookies are used for many things, not just tracking users. DuckDuckGo has settings and cookies are used to keep track of settings.
Note, I do not sign-in to DuckDuckGo. I use a VPN to mask my location and source IP address. They do not know who I am. Hell, I don't even see ads because they are all blocked.
Bkmk
Zero proof they hand anything to google. What a bs hit job by some dude with a giant conflict of interest.
Utter. Crap.
They don’t share it, but the results are from Google. The ads are from Google, but they are blinded.
The ominous goggle is so intertwined with everything. Do a search and watch the lower right side of the screen (at least on mine) and watch the process. You’ll see goggle show up as it runs through the search a lot. I NEVER use ‘ie’ for anything and yet when I do my daily clean up, invariably there is something in the ‘ie’ history.
Startpage was bought by an advertising company about a year ago. I don’t know how compromised they have become because of that but I no longer use startpage.
I have been using DuckDuckGo for some time. The fact that evil google takes 3rd party cookies and exploits them is no surprise and of concern, but that is google being evil, as always.
I have also been using Qwant lately it seems ok. You might try that.
I love Startpage.
They are based in the Netherlands and admit they use google somewhat, but I don’t know about tracking.
I have come to the realization that NOTHING escapes the giant high tech people, but I try to minimize their intrusion.

Thx. I’ve been using ddg for awhile now.
Time to change.
I just tried Qwant, they use google analytics and their search engine is horrible. It doesn’t find anything at all!
I traded google for duckduckgo several years ago. I also routinely have my iPad configured to block all cookies, so nothing intrusive or mine-able is ever stored or shared. I turn cookies on only when I’m visiting my usual banking or utility payment sites, or if I’m making a purchase. And I check the stored cookies once a week and delete any that shouldn’t be there.
” Granville noted. “DuckDuckGo may not be tracking you on their servers — which I find hard to believe“
I wouldn’t expect a CEO of one of their competitors to believe otherwise.
And it seems that Mr. Granville is a Q fan. Oh, dear.
This competitor went to the Hillary Clinton University of Lawyer-speak.

Good point. This Yippy guy is in direct competition with Google and DuckDuckGo. So anything he says about them is essentially worthless.
It’s kinda like a Ford executive talking about how bad Toyotas are.
