Does anyone use DuckDuckGo on their Windows 10 home computers? How about on

[sinkingfeeling]

their cell phones? If so, do you recommend it? How does it effect Google apps, like Maps?

I don't want to mess up anything I already have, but the search filter things that Google added in 2023 are driving me nuts. Half the time the 'All' is completely missing. If I want to search on a new travel gizmo, it will just take me to 'Shopping' for the item when I want to read about the product. Also hate being directed to only 'News' results.

1. Duck duck go is fine. Filters out sneaky

tracking cookies for excellent privacy. Never had a problem with searches.

Try it. I bet you’ll like it.

2. I posted about this browser a few weeks ago

On this forum.

It's a beta version for windows.

Works great. You will be shocked at how much you're tracked.

around to looking into it. Thanks.

3. I recommend it.

It's been my default search engine for many years. I've used it on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11.

4. I have it on my iPad and iPhone and am on it with you now

No problems and I like that I can close and my searches are deleted at the same time.

6. Another vote for Duck Duck Go

Excellent search engine. Customisable home page. Does away with Google rubbish results.

Only complaint is image search is not that good and at times I still need to resort to Google images.

7. I use duckduckgo on a phone, 2 tablets, and a laptop

But none of them run any winshit. Microsoft is not allowed in my house.

8. Duck duck go is great

Has been my default on desktops (Macs) and iPhones for several years.

Screw google. I got tired of all the targeted ads.
