The reason I don’t use DuckDuckGo is that when you sell keyword based ads on your platform, it really isn’t private. If you’ve ever worked with keyword based ads, they might be anonymous, but anything you are searching is showing up somewhere to some third party.
I really like Kagi, becuase I can pay for the search and my searches aren’t being leaked to third parties.

Per our privacy policy: "Viewing ads on DuckDuckGo Search is anonymous, like the rest of our search results (as described above)."

- figmert 10mo agoNot really. Ddg sells the right to show ads on a search with a given keyword. They don't send your query keywords to an advertiser or whatever.
