DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focused search engine that was launched in 2008. It is known for its commitment to user privacy and does not track or store user data. Instead, it uses a unique algorithm that aggregates results from other search engines and presents them in a single, unbiased search results page. This approach allows users to search the web without their searches being recorded or used for targeted advertising. DuckDuckGo also offers additional features such as a "Bang" command, which allows users to quickly search specific websites, and a "Privacy Badger" extension that blocks tracking scripts on websites. The company is headquartered in Delaware, USA, and is funded by donations and partnerships with other companies. DuckDuckGo has gained popularity among users who are concerned about their online privacy and have been recognized for its efforts in the tech industry.
