DuckDuckGo more privacy with Apple maps

Η searching machine announced yesterday that it has started using the MapKit JS framework Apple.

The change is already available for desktop and mobile devices that use DuckDuckgo for their searches.

What does this mean;

DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo cites two main benefits resulting from the change: the first of course is improved privacy but also a better mapping capability.

Yes, the change essentially throws away the OpenStreetMap maps that the company previously used for Apple's mapping service. All searches for addresses, geo-locations, local businesses, business types or nearby places will now come from MapKit JS .

DuckDuckGo as you may know is one s that invests in the protection of private life. This played a major role in the decision to change the mapping service.

The company states in its announcement that all users' IP addresses or any other do not share with Apple or any other third party.
