DuckDuckGo: The Search Engine That Won’t Keep Tabs on You

DuckDuckGo is a search engine that respects your privacy and doesn’t feel the need to keep tabs on you like a clingy ex. Founded in 2008 by Gabriel Weinberg, DuckDuckGo is the perfect choice for anyone who values their privacy and doesn’t want to be bombarded with targeted ads for things they searched for once and never want to see again.

While other search engines track your every move and hand over your personal information to advertisers like it’s candy on Halloween, DuckDuckGo lets you search the internet without leaving a digital trail. It’s like browsing incognito, but without the awkward conversations with loved ones about why you’re always in private browsing mode.

Not only does DuckDuckGo protect your privacy, but it also has a sense of humor. Type in “upside down” and watch as the entire page flips over, leaving you feeling like you’re standing on your head. Type in “Bing” and the response is simply “That’s not something I can help with.” Burn.

But let’s be real, the best part of using DuckDuckGo is being able to search for embarrassing things without having to worry about being judged. We all have that one weird interest that we don’t want anyone to know about (mine is a fascination with miniature horse farms). With DuckDuckGo, you can search to your heart’s content without ever having to worry about someone finding out.

So if you value your privacy and want a search engine that won’t judge you for your strange hobbies, give DuckDuckGo a try. Who knows, you may even learn something new about miniature horse farms.
