Η DuckDuckGo is a search engine like Google. It is from 2008 and separates its position from the Google search giant in many different ways. After his revelations Snowden on the espionage actions of America and Britain, alternatives solutions like it DuckDuckGo, are considered necessary. OR DuckDuckGo is a service Open Source. Open source allows control of all developers who want to develop. This means Safety. Search Anonymously and Get Your Results Instantly. But let's see what and what.
What DuckDuckGo does and does not do:
- · It does not monitor its users (it does not collect and does not share personal information).
- · It has far fewer spam and does not use aggressive content filtering. It only shows one ad on the results pages.
- · Presents the best direct answers (via its partners such as Wolfram Alpha and from developers who contribute via platformof direct answers).
- · It does not place users on bubble filters (this means results without prejudice to what the company thinks a user wants).
