MODERATORS
Hey, as someone who uses DuckDuckGo, they do unfortunately also engage in some cringe tracking. I think it's a bit less than Google, but honestly I don't think it makes much of a difference. They collect information about what you search for.
I might switch to Qwant or something. Not sure yet.
I mean it is a search engine, why wouldn't they track what people are searching for?
The question is are they actually tracking you or just the words you're typing in?
IIRC they track your mouse movements on the search results page, and what links you click on. It's not great :/
Really? I've been using it for a while and haven't noticed tracking.
What sorts of tracking have you seen them engage in?
They display ads in search results, which they presumably do need to track clicks for. But you can literally just switch the ads off in the settings. And then you'll never see them again. They're on by default, but not mandatory.
IIRC on the search results page they track your mouse movements and which links you clicked on. The latter I could maybe see as legitimate; the former is pretty sus.
Maybe it's time we start a decentralized search engine !
