DuckDuckGo vs Google: What’s The (MAJOR) Differences?

[div][br]DuckDuckGo. You might not have heard of it, but it is a very good web browser that works great on Android and iOS. Is it a Chrome killer? I happen to think it is because I have been using it for months now and I haven’t been back to Chrome once.[br][br]DuckDuckGo is ALL about privacy. It doesn’t do personalized results nor does it store your IP address, user logs, cookies or anything else that could be used to track you online. It’s certainly different to how Google does things. But it 100% works and I definitely consider myself one of the converted.[br][br]Why did I go to DuckDuckGo? Simple: I don’t really like anything that Google does regarding my data; it’s kind of scary just how much information Google has on its users. And then you have things like Incognito Mode not actually living up to its name – it’s not private, basically![br][br][strong][strong]DuckDuckGo[/strong][/strong][strong][strong] vs. Google[/strong][/strong][br][br]So I started looking for alternatives. I used Firefox for a bit, which was OK, but then I happened across DuckDuckGo and, well… I was very impressed. And this was surprising for a few reasons:[br][br][ul][li]I didn’t think its results would be up to scratch when compared to Google.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]I didn’t think the browser would all that stable.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]I felt like it’d lack some of the core features you expect from a browser.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]I didn’t believe it was 100% private; figured there had to be a catch.[br][/li][/ul]But I was WRONG on all counts. Not only is DuckDuckGo super quick to load web pages and very stable, but it also delivers true, private browsing as well as the ability to remove ALL your browsing data whenever you like (just hit the fire icon inside the browser).[br][br][strong][strong]DuckDuckGo[/strong][/strong][strong][strong] Privacy Settings[/strong][/strong][br][br]After using it for a week or so, I decided to do some research on DuckDuckGo. I read a few articles, then I happened on this quote by its founder: “By default, DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information. That is our privacy policy in a nutshell”.[br][br]I was impressed; that is easily one of the best privacy policies from a search engine company I have ever read. Like everything else to do with DuckDuckGo, it’s simple and to the point.[br][br][strong][strong]DuckDuckGo[/strong][/strong][strong][strong] How Does It Work?[/strong][/strong][br][br]DuckDuckGo pulls information from over 400 sources to generate its search results. These sources include: Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha, Bing, and its own Web crawler (the DuckDuckBot).[br][br]I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for a good while now, and the results it is giving me are great. Not only am I finding new sites and sources to read, as how sites are ranked is slightly different from Google, but it has delivered solid, reliable performance across the board ever since I installed it.[br][br][h4]It’s fast, secure, and private – what more could you want from a web browser on your phone[span style="font-weight: bold;"][/span]?[/h4][br][br][h3 style="text-align: center;"][a href="https://www.knowyourmobile.com/google/duckduckgo-vs-google-what-s-the-major-differences/" target="_blank"]Source[span style="font-weight: bold;"][/span][/a][/h3][/div]
