DuckDuckGo, the search engine that doesn't track you

Google tracks you. Google tracks your search queries and sends them to third parties and advertisers. Google is also a third-party tracker on 75% of sites. So Google is not just tracking what you search, but also what websites you visit. Based on that information collected, Google follows you around with ads. Google tracks you even in Incognito Mode. So it is not really "incognito." DuckDuckGo on the other hand doesn't track you - period. It doesn't collect any private information. Not all websites respect the "Do Not Track" signal. DuckDuckGo is not just a search engine, but also a browser extension that blocks trackers. It states the privacy practices of the website you're on unless the privacy practices are unknown. It shows you the privacy grade. You can also make a whitelist of what websites you want to be tracked on. Google tracks you. I don't know about Bing or Yahoo! DuckDuckGo doesn't track you. Take your privacy back at DuckDuckGo Sorr
