At you.com we believe in user choice - private mode where we track nothing and personalized mode in an account where you can select your preferred sources like Reddit or Quora, StackOverflow, etc.
For now private mode has no ads, but sadly, it might only be monetizable with private ads in the future, similar to DDG..
- jjulius 5y agoHey Richard, it's been pointed out a bunch of times to you on HN over four months that "private mode" is a misnomer; people have pointed out that there are still outgoing requests to third-parties in private mode, who can do whatever they want with the data they get. DDG's private mode lacks these third-party requests. I really like seeing more competition entering the search space and competing against Google, but it's a huge bummer when someone continually touts their "private" product while routinely ignoring comments asking for clarification around something that suggests it's not actually private. Can you please shed some light on this?
