DDG is dead use the Brave browser and search engine

Brave is losing a bunch of people to Kiwi since they got rid of the stack/list view of open tabs, and only have an aol-type view. Supposedly they're working on bringing it back in several weeks, though.

>> I feel betrayed, for sure.

You should have known better. The DDG delusions have been going on for years.

We must assume that everything we do online is being tracked, monitored, etc. Gotta be our default mode.

The article mentions the mobile browser. I wonder if it’s the same for PCs.

I’ve been using the Brave browser and Brave search engine for most things ever since DDG decided to filter out “misinformation” on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

I had switched to Brave’s search engine a couple of months ago when I had heard something similar about DDG.
I have also built up a list of sites I don’t want my PC to have access to by using their IP addresses in the host file.

“I would go as far to say I don’t trust my anonymity on this site or any other.”

I’ve started getting emails from Dinesh D’Souza and they are addressed to my screen name here!!!

I feel betrayed, for sure.

I don't know why?

Shirley you knew, deep in your heart and soul, that there was no way to use the "free net" without leaving foot prints, and that some one, some where would follow and track them.

How does anyone think that you can bounce all over the net, willy nilly and do it without someone viewing, tracking and monetizing your movements?

Every thing you post here on FR can be read on google and many other trackers.

What do you think happens with the multi billions of dollars worth of computers that NSA, ciafbi and all the rest of the feds have?

I've got news for you, you are news, so don't feel betrayed, just know you are, and always will be, exposed.

That's better than betrayed.

And the word is "schooled".

The Opera PC (Win10) browser allows you to use their free VPN. Any FR experts here who can say what, if anything, a browser connected by VPN buys you in terms of data and surfing privacy and personal anonymity?
