is it true that DuckDuckGo doesn't collect any of their user's data????

[Anomnomnomaly]

I've been using DDG for years now, as well as firefox with a few plugins to block ads/cookies/scripts.. I can even block those annoying facebook pixel trackers... When an ad goes get passed the multitude of prevention measures... it's often some in weird language due to my VPN. 

 

I can't say for certain that i can block everything... But I make whatever data they do collect as near to useless as possible.

 

It has worked... if you knew my real name and country/town of origin... you could google me and find nothing.

Google owns more then just other companies.

 

They own your DATA!

They team up with Faceplant and they know more then you know about yourself, I am not joking there fellas.

Sorry about Godwin, but it's like saying we wouldn't have the Autobahn without Hitler. Youtube was just bought by Google and frankly, it was a lot more pleasant in 2005, before Google got involved. And remember Google Video? Ha, ha.

 

Also, all that talk about adsense and trackers and cookies and stuff from the first page. You guys do realize that it's possible to just block all of it? I even have an add-on that deletes cookies from websites I haven't white listed as soon as I close their tabs. Sure, you can't be 100% secure on the Internet, but that doesn't mean you should accept 0% security, either.
