Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
So far they are being transparent. If you were a DDG user, you should keep supporting them for now and see where it takes us. There aren’t many tech companies that are privacy focused. And so far I think it’s in our best interest that privacy first becomes mainstream.
- philistine 4y agoThey are not transparent. Show me where they indicated that their policies did not apply to Microsoft cookies before journalists highlighted the issue.

You can see that for yourself at the bottom 'tracker content blocking' section of this audit site: https://privacytests.org/ios.html https://privacytests.org/ios.html (scroll to the very bottom).
- asddubs 4y agoIMO this is too big a misstep to play that card. if your support is too unconditional, you may end up with privacy theather instead of privacy. but we shall see what the future holds
