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.

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

ProtonVPN works great.

Just acquired about an ultralight from a site.
Protom mail, kicked my mail to phishing.

Do not get it. shouldn’t they advice before that?

Wikipedia disproves nothing, of course.

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

I thought DDG was bought out by Apple?
I could be wrong...

Well by golly that must be the end of it then- Yeah ok- google denied it for years too- believe what you like- I simply asked a question- sorry you got bent out of shape about it on Christmas day of all days too lol
