when you do a query on ddg they have access to your IP address AND your query. so you have to trust ddg quite a bit, and trust the people that work there. But if you use private.sh, no single entity has access to BOTH your query and your IP address. so it just provides more privacy than ddg.
- bawolff 6y agoThat's marketing bullshit. Private.sh has no more garuntees than ddg
- rasengan 6y agoDDG is a great search engine. I trust they do not log and maintain privacy. One entity needs to be trusted. That being said, with the private.sh offering, it requires two entities to collude to identify users. Thus, it does provide more guarantees than DDG.
- bawolff 6y agoPrivate.sh can identify users without any help because it controlls the encryption code. You only need 2 entities to collude if private.sh is acting honestly. If they are colluding you have already assumed they are not acting honestly.
- rasengan 6y agoIf you use the Firefox and Chrome extension [1] you do not need to trust that the encryption code is broken. [1] https://private.sh/extension.html https://private.sh/extension.html
