DuckDuckGo | Alternative to Google Search

DuckDuckGo
Google Search has come under fire for claiming it uses user data to improve itself. Although alternatives to Google are Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Yandex etc., DuckDuckGo platform is also growing.

DuckDuckGo
The search platform DuckDuckGo (DDG) was launched in 2008.

Data aggregation is a problem not only for Google, but for all Internet companies.

So, people who don't like Google search can use DDG.

DDG has explained why not to use Google rather than why to use its site.

DDG is like Google. The idea comes and goes that our information will not be used for any other service while using it.

DuckDuckGo has more articles on giriblog than on Google. The site article comes up mostly with whatever you search for πŸ™‚ .

DuckDuckGo Site Features
Instant Answers
Infinite Scroll for Images, Videos, and Shopping
Infinite Scroll
Units of Measure
Auto-Suggest
New Window
Advertisements (On / Off)
Page Break Numbers
Language (Tamil Available)
Safe Search
Reasons to use DuckDuckGo
Google tracks all information, even in Incognito mode (Private Browsing), but DDG does not.
Google trackers follow almost 75% of the leading websites, the rest being Facebook. DDG does none of this.
Search results and ads appear on Google and Bing based on sites used, likes, and reviews.
In short, DuckDuckGo is a leader when it comes to privacy.
Although DuckDuckGo claims to be a secure site, they will do the same if they grow up πŸ™‚ . When it comes to the internet, no one can be trusted.

As DDG doesn't have any other services like Google, it's not a problem now, if we launch new services later, we can connect them.

After every freebie in the world there is a profit.

Is Google Compare OK?
In conclusion, comparisons with Google are like a mountain to a sink. However, there is no denying that DDG is a growing platform.

Google owns 95% of the global internet search market.

DuckDuckGo has overtaken Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex, which were currently second only to Google, in US mobile searches.

It recently broke the record of 100 million searches in a single day.

Google search only
Just because Google Search might be going away doesn't mean Google is going away.

Other services like Gmail, Drive, Photos, YouTube will continue in Aussie, just Google Search won't.

Maybe if Google search takes off, Aussie users will start using DDG and Bing sites.
