If they manage to do it correctly they might start eating some of Google's lunch. |

One difference I see with ddg is that they suggest search strings for you to refine your search . Some might not like that , some may .. -- Snag |

OT NSA-proof search engine takes on Google
I've used DuckDuckGo for awhile, too. Google abuse
just keeps getting worse. I dropped them for most searches when they started tracking clicks via corrupt links. If you look at the returned links you'll see that they now use Google as a proxy, so that Google can track everything you click, even if you have script disabled: http://www.google.com/url?q=[the-real-link-here]&[server-side-tracking-code-here] It sends you to Google, which then serves you the page you asked for. There's no way to even know whether Google is giving you an unadulterated page. They could even be adding tracking bugs to pages. I still use them occasionally, though. For most searches any search engine works, but for the really tough ones Google seems to be more accurate most of the time. When I do use them I generally copy the link and then clean it up before proceeding.

Interview: https://tinyurl.com/q8m632f Home page for Ptoton Mail: https://tinyurl.com/mzeks5n Hi Oren, I couldn't get the page to load. I use mail.zoho.com. They swear they are private (encrypted). Unless I can inspect the facility myself, I don't completely trust it. My solution is avoid sending private stuff through the eMail. You can always encrypted an attachment. (Use the phone to tell the other end what the key is. Don't eMail the key to them. This is called "Out of Band" verification.) -T |

Do you *like* being spied on? Why would the NSA spy on me? I'm of no interest to them. Do you think people are nuts who don't want to be spied on? Most people who think they are being spied on by the NSA ***are*** nuts. If so, why? Or do you work for Google? No, I'm not employed by Google or the NSA. And if the government does decide to interrogate me, I hope they send Annie Walker. http://www.usanetwork.com/covertaffairs |
