But with my solution in the main Ask HN I don't need any ID. So why should I not do it that way?

I don't want to use a session cookie with an ID to link all events. I don't want any ID because I could potentially link those ID together in the back end based on IP (I don't, but I want people not to have to trust me). I wa

Thanks! I like the way you think. 2. I think encrypting PGP is pretty heavy and maybe not great for the performance of a script that loads on a lot of websites. 3. I'm not sure how fast this will be. Especially on a very busy website w

It was based on that, but if I look at market share of Google Search in America [1] it goes down for quite some years already. [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/267161/market-share-of-s...

I'm seeing this trend (it is a personal statement), and if I look at Googles popularity in Google Trends [1] it's going down in the last 5 years. It's still huge compared to privacy first products like DuckDuckGo [2]. Again,

That's not a privacy issue. But indeed, you will support Microsoft when using DuckDuckGo. I believe it's necessary to use a big search engine before building your own. Their ads also run via Bing Ads. This is something they really

This is amazing. So many people are starting to de-Google their life. It somehow become a popular subject. Earlier this week Fast Company wrote [1] about it, DuckDuckGo reached 1 billion monthly searches [2] and it's a common thing to

Thank you for relating this to caring about the product and it's continued support. The hospital you're describing sounds like a great example for others. It's great if you make it public, you also need to show you're ta

One of the things I don't like about Google is their decision to not be transparent to their users about their mistakes. For example with Google Plus [1]: > Google did not tell its users about the security issue when it was found in

I think it's great we are moving away from big data collectors and running our own servers. What I usually see is people storing their users' data on servers that are situated in locations where governments can get access to the d
