So if you're a privacy browser. Don't. Favicons are not essential. Or, at the very least make them "opt in" and explain it.
- projomni 6y agoGeez, overreacting.
- bangonkeyboard 6y agoI don't see how this is a privacy violation in any way. The headline is that DDG is tracking the domains you visit, but favicons are loaded for every search result you see unconditional on whether you click them, and DDG already knows what those results are when they serve them to you.

- harry8 6y agoso you use the ddg browser to go direct someplace with a favicon not via ddg search and ...?
- kroltan 6y agoThis is about their browser, not their search service. Your argument is perfectly valid if it was the the search service at question.
- bangonkeyboard 6y agoI see. I honestly didn't know they had a browser.
