What’s up everyone, Andy here and today we’re going to review a private search engine called DuckDuckGo. Now, first, why do we care about private search engines at all? Well, there’s a big elephant in the room named Google, and it has a tendency to stomp all over user data privacy. We know that Google tracks user activity. It also gives in to government pressure to release data, and holds paid advertisers higher than individual privacy. So what can you do if using Google leaves a bad taste in your mouth? Well, there are several search engine alternatives that could provide the answer. Let’s review one of them, DuckDuckGo, to see how it stacks up against other search engines, and if it could be a more private way to search the web. First, what are private search engines, and why are people turning to them over Google? So, DuckDuckGo is part of a relatively new breed of search providers known as private search engines. We call them “private” in comparison to Google as the market leader. And, it would be an understatement to say that Google has a poor reputation when it comes to collecting user data. For example, each Google search leaves a cookie in the user’s computer, which tracks where they go, and what they search for. This may be necessary to satisfy Google’s business model, but it means that the search engine is much more invasive than it needs to be. And that’s because cookies allow Google to track where users go on the internet. Now, the company claims that this is anonymous. But it’s based around IP addresses, so that’s not necessarily true. Either way, it lets Google build up in-depth profiles for marketing purposes. And, when it comes to marketing, sometimes Google seems more loyal to paying customers than ordinary users. For example, Gmail has been unmasked as allowing developers access to users’ contact lists and emails. Not to mention, Google is part of the In-Q-Tel program, and has not been open about its links with the NSA and CIA. In fact, some security experts have argued that the CIA “made” Google via investment decisions. So, Google has run into just a couple of user concerns. And that’s where private search engines came onto the stage. They present themselves as a better option for users with a more ethical, trustworthy stance. Still, like we said: no search engine is totally flawless. There’s no single solution to protect your identity and your information. With that in mind, it makes sense to use extra measures like VPNs to enhance your privacy, alongside a secure search engine. A VPN extension provides an additional layer of protection to encrypt your data and avoid IP leaks. I like NordVPN – it’s a popular provider, affordable, and easy to install and use. If you’re interested in learning more about NordVPN, we have an in-depth review linked below in the description.
