Is DuckDuckGo REALLY Private?

We get asked this question almost every day.

DuckDuckGo is really the first private search engine and they just announced they surpassed 100 million daily search queries.

The better way to answer this question is WHY do you use DuckDuckGo?

We are guessing you want to hide your searches from Google and Big Tech right? Or maybe you want to hide your searching from your Internet provider.

The good news…DuckDuckGo DOES NOT share your search queries or track you.

The REALLY BAD NEWS

Google can see everything you searched for when you use DuckDuckGo.

There is some kind of Google tracker on almost every website out there. So using a private search engine does NOT hide your identity from Google when you visit it.

The truth is there is no such thing as a private search engine. In fact DuckDuckGo even proved it.

There is a way to use any search engine privately…and THAT is what you are really trying to do right?

You can use ANY search engine (yes even Google) privately with a virtual private browser.
