By using DuckDuckGo you're doing the opposite of ignoring privacy issues in Google products.
And hence the reaction. Why use DDG at all, if they're not safely protecting your private data 100%?
- raziel2p 6y agoYou're okay with them having data on what you're searching for, but them potentially having data on the domains you're visiting from those search pages is where you draw the line? I mean, I agree with the principle of storing as little data as possible but this isn't a huge deal in my eyes.

- asjw 6y agoBecause some protection is better than no protection Why use a condom which doesn't protect you 100%?

And you can't see the difference? > Why use DDG at all, if they're not safely protecting your private data 100%? Says the man who's willingly chosen to spunk his real name, the company he works for, his position within said company, his photograph and I'm sure I could find much else besides, over the web. Then asks for 100% privacy. [0] which some people would give up willingly for a little silver, but that's another matter.
- robertlagrant 6y agoThis isn't just a mistake. They're saying it's not a problem. Do you agree with that? If not, you're arguing with the wrong person.

- hanspeter 6y agoI don't know how the rules are here about getting personal, but aside from making other users be uncomfortable you're missing the point completely. I don't personally feel a need for a high level of privacy, but I can understand other people who do. And if they are using DuckDuckGo for that purpose, this issue would seem like a big thing. If you served a dish for a vegan with 5 % meat in it, you wouldn't justify it by comparing to the amount of meat in non-vegan dishes.
