DuckDuckGo is a search engine that has the particularity of operating without collecting data about you. We know that google collects our data to provide personalized search results. Which is not always well received. DuckDuckGo when it comes to anonymous research. The search queries on this engine provide the same results regardless of who uses it. The site is constantly in https.
The characteristics of duckduckgo
Technically speaking, DuckDuckGo uses several APIs to perform search operations including its own. For example the searches you will see can come from Bing, Yahoo, Blekko and himself.
This engine, as I said above, relies heavily on the anonymity of its users by not collecting any data. It is for this reason that this browser is recommended by Anonymous.
Duckduckgo is also open source and can search on other platforms like youtube, wikipedia, amazon. It incorporates an instant response engine. Concretely on https://duckduckgo.com/ type ”Age of Adebayor“. the first result you will see is the instantaneous motor response. Better yet, this time type “The Simpsons characters”.
