DuckDuckGo is down

Guess there isn't much money in not tracking users.

That said Firefox has alerted me several times it prevented a site from tracking me.

No problem here, switched to it a year or two ago for same reasons, works fine.

Working fine here and I use it about 95% of the time.

Strange it is back for me too. I tried it on Firefox and Chrome about 6 PM Sunday and it wouldn't load but I could get Google to load right up. Tried an hour later and same results.

Another option to use is startpage.com for a private search engine. You can kind of think about startpage as Google without the invasion of privacy and DuckDuckGo as Bing without the invasion. I use both as they will return different results but startpage is my default.

Your privacy gets 'invaded' countless times every day anyway. It's part of the net, like it or not.

Yeah I still use Google from time to time because of the results differences. They are all in bed with one commercial source or the other. The first choices from DuckDuckGo are always from Amazon. The ananimity doesn't last past the first click away from the search page.

Correct. Listening technology also is or can be.
