Η searching machine DuckDuckGo announced yesterday that it started using it 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 lists two main ones benefits resulting from the change: the first of course is the privacy improvement but also a better mapping functionality.
Yes, the change is essentially throwing away its maps OpenStreetMap που χρησιμοποιούσε πριν η εταιρεία, για την υπηρεσία χαρτογράφησης της Apple. Όλες οι αναζητήσεις για διευθύνσεις, γεωγραφικούς τόπους, τοπικές επιχειρήσεις, τύπους επιχειρήσεων ή κοντινά μέρη θα έρχονται πλέον από το MapKit JS framework.
DuckDuckGo as you may know is one searching machine which invests in the protection of privacy. This played a major role in the decision to change the mapping service.
The company says in its announcement that all IP addresses of users or any other personal data are not shared with Apple or any other third party.
