Duck Duck Go offers Mac users even more privacy (why Google when you can Duck?)

It boggles my mind that ANYONE - who cherishes their privacy - still uses Google as their primary or secondary search engine. I strongly encourage you to check out Duck Duck Go...you won't be let down.

That is who I use for about the past five years. No problemo.

They have been my search engine for years. Love their service, don’t love the name

With Duckduck go and a vpn I feel pretty comfortable. Add Lifelock, I am relaxed. Get United States Concealed Carry Association membership and I figure I’ll manage.

Stupid name for a limited search engine and very limited results. Found site totally useless every time I try a search. Heck, it does not even list my company, which is top of Google and Bing results.

I doubt anyone really gets the privacy that they think they are getting.

DDG is fine. But I’ve found that Yippy.com is even more secure. Not a single cookie. And their new image search is pretty sweet.

I use startpage.com because DuckDuckGo is funding our enemies.

Made the switch to FireFox and DDG two years ago and never happier.

It is my default search engine. But, it doesn’t always give me enough of the right type of results. Neither does google. Google is, sadly, my back-up plan. I found bing to be so unhelpful that it isn’t worth even typing in my address bar.

Searx is another alternative. Duck Duck is my homepage though.

My browser is Opera. But Brave and Palemoon are alternatives.
