DuckDuckGo Isn’t as Private as You Thought

DuckDuckGo made a deal with the devil. Due to a confidential search agreement, the DuckDuckGo browser does not block all Microsoft trackers. What’s worse, DuckDuckGo only acknowledged this “privacy hole” after it was discovered by a security researcher.

This is about the DuckDuckGo browser and not the DuckDuckGo website. That should be reflected in the title as the original title is intentionally misleading people for clicks.

Updated the title.

Thank you 😍

I don’t see the point of Duckduckgo browser in a world where Firefox exists.

I’m assuming DDG’s browser is just its own fork of Chromium?

Then why not just use Ungoogled Chromium if you must have a Chromium engine?

Me neither. Although Firefox also often does weird stuff, which they should stop to not have people say “meh, Firefox is just as bad as the rest”…
