Never trust a junkie.

Never trust computer software or web sites or Apps.

Life is easy when you know the rules.

he ‘never promised’ anonymity when browsing.
No? Then what ARE they promising in these billboards?

It’s all messed up when they start splitting hairs and explaining the 4th page fine print.

Pretty FUBAR deal as far as trust goes.

Misleading headline? Is there an agreement, or simply did DuckDuckGo fail to prevent Microsoft?

Brave.....

From what I've read, Brave makes no promise that they won't funnel/share your info or surfing traits. It's subtle. They say they 'block' tracking, cookies etc. Nowhere do they promise you total anonymity from what I've read.

Let's face it, these companies are in business to make money and they are not above using your surfing data or habits to do so.

I would assume if you use a computer linked to the net the government knows what you are doing no matter what search engine or site you are on.
I would go as far to say I don’t trust my anonymity on this site or any other.

Can someone here who understands this better explain what DDG is sharing, or allowing?
Are they letting MSFT see every site you visit? Or just MSFT sites? Exactly what information is compromised?

And isn’t it true that you’re ISP sees where you go anyway?
