How would you know if DuckDuckGo actually respected privacy? It's a black box.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoDDG reports all clicks to links.duckduckgo.com and improving.duckduckgo.com, etc. Which AdGuard seems to block, and maybe one of my browser settings/extensions as well.
- Dwedit 1y agoAllegedly they do that for "referer protection" reasons to hide the search term that was used to get to the site.
- wizzwizz4 1y agoThis is separate to referrer protection, which is only active as-needed – in most modern browsers, DuckDuckGo's referrer protection never kicks in, because they support rel="noopener noreferrer".
