Today I'm going to show you how you can see for yourself how incredibly we spread information about ourselves. In different directions. And the fact that Bookface and Google already know everything from us, you probably know. And it's probably more interesting to see how to reduce this significantly?
The DuckDuckGo browser on phones, in addition to having privacy protection sewn into the browser itself, in its DNA, boasts that .Recently it got an extremely interesting feature to block tracking traffic, not only with outbound traffic from the browser, but also outbound traffic from a whole bunch of other apps on our phone.
So, from the beginning, DuckDuckGo first and foremost is a search engine, which I will tell you a little about in a moment.
The most interesting thing is happening on phones. Because for phones DuckDuckGo also has its own browser, but about that in a moment. From the beginning. DuckDuckGo is a search engine that prides itself on not storing or collecting any information about us. This has its advantages and disadvantages.
It is, in a sense, an alternative to Google. Except that Google collects all sorts of information from us. It knows a lot about us. What do we search for? How do we search,? Where do we hang out? What do we like? All sorts of information. Consequently, from this perspective, he tries to answer our inquiry in the way he guesses we would like to be answered.
That is, based on what it knows about us, it prompts us with answers to our queries. DuckDuckGo does exactly the opposite. It tries, it doesn't store any information about us, which makes it know absolutely nothing about us. It should and does return to us some kind of bizarre results, because they will be completely different results in general. Because they will be raw results that do not take into account at all who are we? What are we doing? What questions have we asked before? Where are we? And the like.
That is: on the one hand, just using DuckDuckGo's search engine makes it like, what we're asking about is not stored anywhere. So that's one argument why it's worth using DuckDuckGo. The other very interesting point. If we would be interested in the default search in DuckDuckGo, when it comes to Chrome, we right-click, manage search, and just next to DuckDuckGo do set as default.
