    So, duckduckgo anyone?

    I've seen a lot of promotional stuff for duckduckgo and I'm also getting tired of all the chrome ad and info BS. Anyone using this browser with good results?

    I assume you mean the duckduckgo search engine unless I missed a chapter and they're now making a browser too?

    Anyway if we're talking about the search engine I've been using it for about 2 years. Most of the time the results are the same except for when Google uses your geo location to suggest different stuff ex: local news, politics, etc...

    I think I was confused with the way it interacted with chrome on a PC and/or mobile. Anyway, thanks for the insight, I'll give it a shot.

    Just wanted to add that Duckduckgo does have a browser on Android. Not sure about iOS. I've been using it for about 6+ months now and haven't had any issues with it.

    I don’t use it, I know its basically DuckDuckGo buys searches from bing, so they’re stuff is pretty solid.

    Used DDG for a while in the past, but when you're used to what google usually returns it can get a bit annoying.
    Nowadays I use startpage. It uses googles engine but doesn't use (or pass) any tracking.
