I like the Privacy Badger app from DuckDuckGo.

If they are following me around they should know I don’t buy anything they advertise.
So, maybe they could stop wasting both our time and knock off all those annoying ads / pop ups / spam?

How important is it to get the answer to something you’re idly curious about?

They keep trying to sell me bikinis and lingerie. Not going to buy them but do enjoy the ads.

Google, the search engine of the SJW & other liberal butt-sniffers.
Stopped using it several years back, except when needed for some very worthwhile hacking.

Btw use DDG... I wish they would create a trimmed down version of FB.
FB is way to intrusive.

I use Adblock Plus and Self-destructing cookies—so what’s an ad, and what’s a cookie? I haven’t seen either in an age! Kinda sweet!

ABSOLUTELY!

I’ve been using “Duck Duck Go” for quite a while, and it’s every bit as good as Googly, without all the tracking, ads, etc.

Try it...you’ll like it.

Privacy Badger app from DuckDuckGo

How is this different from Dogpile.com?

What’s this about duck duck?
I’ve been assured several times
here that Google is a monopoly.
There’s another search engine?
Who let the ducks in?

Well, there is always Yandex, a search engine you can collude with.

DuckDuckGo for search engine.

Firefox or Edge for browser.
