[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)

While Yandex and Baidu track you, you might get different patterns of censorship to help give you a fuller picture from different perspectives (Russia and China).
