DuckDuckGo

I feel like people are on one of two sides here. They either give it 5 stars and says that its privacy is way better than other search engines, or they give it one star and say that it is 100% false advertising! I just switched to duckduckgo, and I don't really know how to feel yet. But Duckduckgo, if you are reading this comment, please think about what I just said, and read the other reviews if you don't believe me when I say that the reviews are VERY two-sided!

DuckDuckGo has given me much better search results than Google has. The results are unbiased and ones that I trust. They don't market my internet history to me and I don't feel like I've got Big Brother working with their marketing team.

I study Cyber Security and I appreciate the efforts of any company that treats internet security as a human right and not a privilege.

Thank you DuckDuckGo I hope your mission spreads to be the standard. You are helping keep the internet in the hands of the public!

It's the only search engine I use and they actually take your privacy seriously if you know what your doing. You can keep the searches you want private and allow other to be viewed. Google tracks everything everywhere and duckduckgo is it's only real competition. Yes I know Duckduckgo indexes Yandex but I'm fine with that.

People on this site claim that duck duck go steals their information and hacks into their account. This is not the case, these people downloaded something off the internet that led to duck duck go being installed. It's probably not a licensed, illegitimate program That infected their computer with Trojan malware. Duck duck go is a very sound company with the intention of keeping your privacy secure. I have been using them for over 2 years and had not had any problems. 100% recommend to people that value their security.

This company needs to be shut down. They thrive on paranoia and false advertising, claiming to be 'completely anonymous' (completely false). They use all that 'evil' data collected by Google to target you with annoying ads that scream "GOOGLE TRACKS YOU!" You don't say! The CEO of this organization is desperate to convince people that Google is an evil company and that data collection should be banned and that we should all use 'DuckDuckGo'. Keep dreaming, pal. DO NOT USE DuckDuckGo, it is a fraudulent service that fetches search results from Yahoo/Bing and is NOT 'anonymous'. Get a VPN and boycott this crap.

On their youtube advertisement, it clearly states "GOOGLE FOLLOWS YOU AROUND WITH ADS." Well, in my opinion, DuckDuckGo does the same. Every day I see one of these ads and THEY SUCK

A good friend and neighbor of mine last week recommended this app. She and her husband both were really happy with it. So since I have nothing to lose and everything to gain I figured I'd give it a go. I bought a pair of boots about three months ago and every day when I go online to search something there is always and I mean always an ad for Boots. Go figure. When I go online to price something I'm buying it right then and there i'm not doing it three months from then. I want their best price advertised to be there Best! I do not play games. And I absolutely hate getting these ads for something that I no longer need. I bought tires a year ago and I am still getting advertisements. I hope I don't have to buy tires for another four years. Yet every time I go online there is the ad for Tires. Go figure sometimes it's insulting like I'm stupid enough to wait for a year to buy my doggone tires. Sometimes after a couple weeks they lower the price but I have already bought the item. Yes, you snooze you lose! I absolutely hate to play their games. Therefore when my neighbor discussed this with me and what they thought I figured I'd give it a try. I know they all have to advertise is that just part of their business you have to pay the monthly bills. I have been in several businesses and I understand what it takes to run a business. I was wholesale plumbing rep I gave them my best price. My customers most of them wouldn't give me a second chance and sometimes they would even show me their job quotations. I don't play those games and after a while everybody on the treasure coast of Florida knew that's the way I was. No games! The company I worked for had bills to pay for too they had overhead just like any other business and I always felt like I gave a fair price. I also owned a JetSki business and another business. I understand what your average overhead is and I appreciate it I'm not looking for something for nothing I just don't like their games! Therefore I hope this works out because I'm so sick and tired of all the other competitors and the way that they run their business. Therefore I can't rate it yet but I'm willing to give it a try. I just hope that they don't play the same games as their competitors. It would be nice to have a good search engine that doesn't play games. So we'll see. One thing I do is I always keep location services off. You can go into settings and look for privacy and shut it off so they don't know what store you're at. Until today I thought if you had it off and you had an emergency they wouldn't be able to find you and when I read the fine print on my iPhone Today I found out that's not true they're still able to find you. So $#*! it off! They have no business knowing where you're shopping.

Searching may be private, but the results suck. What good is it? You can't search more than 4 words or you get COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT RESULTS.

DuckDuckGo is okay, it gives you more results and if you get the chrome extension it will rate the safety of the websites. But it does still run cookies, (although that would be tracking the websites you're on), and... wait, hold up. Why is DuckDuckGo making an extension for google chrome on the GOOGLE CHROME webstore? Google chrome is obviously owned by google, as stated in the name. DuckDuckGo also advertises itself on YOUTUBE, also owned by google. Welp, now google is helping DuckDuckGo. Umm...
