Weird that these year+ old videos keep popping lately…
Tldr for those not wanting to watch a video please
Duck Duck go has business dealings with Microsoft, so they don’t turn off those trackers. It’s still better than Google if you trust what they say. But the only way to be truly secure is to run a privacy focused OS, and do all your internet browsing through a virtual machine. Using a VPN that doesn’t have to follow the rules of the US, Canada or EU.
It’s 1y old video. TLDR DuckDuckGo partnered with Microsoft and blocks everyone else but Microsoft ads/trackers.
And they were able to change things and get Microsoft blocked as well

Thanks for the link. So it was the app and extension not the search engine.

Lemmy’s Hot sort algorithm still needs some fine tuning, is what I’ve heard. Honestly, I feel good getting some engagement going on a post someone submitted to have a discussion and just got left out in a field to die.
