[PSA] DuckDuckGo was founded by a Jew that openly gathered personal information before (technology)

submitted ago by kmccormick

I am seeing a lot of links here in voat about the increment in usage of "privacy oriented" browser ddg. It has not yet be proven that DDG violates your privacy, but it is highly probable given the previous history of its founder. It is openly known (even wikipeda has info about it)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_Database

Alternatives? I am using searx, it is an aggregator, you can choose which engines to use, it is opensource and there is many instances so you can use which ever you want, and even host your own. https://searx.me https://searx.me/about

Edit: Thanks @sbt2160p for this link: https://8ch.net/tech/ddg.html

Edit2: You can make voat a source (preferences > engines > social media > voat) and search directly in voat with !vo (Example https://searx.me/?q=%21vo%20duckduckgo)

DDG gives you the option of selecting foreign servers which is the only way one can access certain sites. It's possible that goggle and your ISP can determine which sites have been visited but the use of a VPN in addition to DDG reduces that chance. Frankly the Muslims on this site constantly screaming "kikes" discredits almost any claim they make.
