Why don’t you take 30 seconds and search for yourself, instead of posting an idiotic rumor?

“It is reported that...” Wtf is that?!?

Here, I did it for you:

whatever. I guess just because something owns them, it doesnt mean it actually owns them.

the British Crown didn't really own the colonies in 1775

Wut? Did you think that somehow makes google own ddg? They aded ddg as an option—that proves how good and popular ddg is.

Seriously, people, this place has turned into Alex Jones wannabes.

I read stuff like this someone quoted and it influences my opinion:

"Remember when Google introduced Incognito Mode to make you think you were private when browsing? DDG is kind of similar in that people think they are private on the Web when using this search engine, when in fact Google can see everything you do when using it."

thats what I meant by "google owns DDG

Wikipedia disproves nothing, of course.

Personally, I don’t trust Yandex either. VPN is the better way to go.

“TOR Browser’

always wondered about that.
Reminds me of Bit Coin.

Strange concept.....
What and why is it trustworthy?

Been thinking about that for years... Many....
