Come on, DDG is not storing datas, neither do we. This was a good feedback and we're looking for more? Beside you know how hard it is to get just a fraction of attention from the community unless you game the stats... Thanks for downvote :-S

Sorry, but I have to agree with malnourish here. I could understand you posting this, but not as a reply to my comment, which happen to be at the top of the page. If you think it's interesting enough for HN, submit it as a "Show HN". But if you want my feedback, have it: for your "don't track" claim, I could trust you (after all, I have to trust someone in the end), but just loading the homepage send my data to Youtube (video) and Mixpanel (analytic). Even your advertised feature, "preview the site before you browse it" is not exactly privacy-friendly. It just load the page in an iframe (if you guys want to do it right, see the ixquick-proxy on startpage and ixquick). Also about the design, I don't think everything should be flat, but I just can't bring myself to like it. It feels like a '90s site. Sorry for being harsh, but you pretty much asked for it.

  No problem. I like honest feedback. That's very helpful. In fact we do show the website in an iframe only if we don't have the thumbnail. Then next time user visits we show a thumbnail. You can be sure iframe content is very restricted by all browsers. And we will proxy the sites that can't be accessed. (To not use your own account), so it's a lot more work than meets the eyes. As for the look. That's personal I guess. We'll keep improving it though to make it more universal. Thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback though. It's very appreciated.

If you consider it a "game" you should probably attempt to understand the rules of the "game". In this case, replying to the top comment with a non-sequitur self promotion is going to get you downvoted, and it did.
