DuckDuckGo is designed to capitalize on the big shots’ poor privacy practices by offering an alternative that’s simple and anonymous. It employs HTTPS encryption and will not include your search query when it builds links to websites. DuckDucksGo also refrains from logging your queries and doesn’t tailor results based on your browsing history. It won’t topple Google or Bing anytime soon, but it is the best search engine in regard to respecting user privacy. It’s refreshing to see a common-sense privacy policy that has all the settings tuned in your favor by default.”]
