What does Duckduckgo Do?
The main mission of Duckduckgo can be summarized into the following domain:
Moreover, Duckduckgo promises not to collect or share any of its users’ personal information, not to store their search history and not to track their searches.
It should be admitted that Duckduckgo is useful to protect your privacy by stopping others from tracking your online activities.
But it doesn’t mean you’re totally secure as Duckduckgo is used.
Duckduckgo only limits your traffic as online browsing is used but it fails to protect all your connections with the Internet apart from browsers. For example, as you use an application on your computer or mobile, the security can’t be guaranteed by Duckduckgo.
Moreover, Duckduckgo claims to get your personal information but it still has ads among its search results. In my opinion, whenever there are ads providers joining, the business won’t be so pure. After all, whether Duckduckgo stops trackers or not is difficult to be testified.
