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

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)

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)

We were spitballing in another thread earlier about how to re-engage American programmers, who have mostly left the field. An open-source web spider sounds like a great project.
