by Publius Maximus, duela 5 hilabeteDDG has never been able to secure my trust. I am an IT professional who has rigorously tested dozens of search engines. My five favorites are: Brave, MetaGer, Mojeek, Qwant, and Swisscows -- none of which are hosted in the USA. DDG is nearly as insecure as Google or BIng.
DDG's lack of transparency in operating policies, blocking trackers, yet allowing some trackers (anonymous or not) without clearly informing users destroys trust and credibility.

If you read the entire DDG policies, you will discover that they pass data to affiliates eBay and Amazon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ema, duela 5 egunOttimo Browser lo uso anche sul cellulare ed effettivamente non mi arrivano più pubblicità invadent. Sul cellulare uso anche le nuove opzioni (al momento beta ma che funziona alla grande) di antitraker e email" fantasma" per coprire il mio vero indirizzo mail

- Rated 4 out of 5by RussC, duela 21 egunI appreciate the privacy and anti-tracking features of this extension, which mostly operates seamlessly and transparently. Unfortunately I have had to disable it as it breaks the integration between box.com and Google. If the extension is enabled, I'm unable to open shared gdoc files stored on Box for editing in Google Docs. Disable this extension, and voila, all is good.
