Every time you search the web, data about you is being collected — from your search history to your location to the links you click. That information is then tied back to you and often used to serve up targeted ads, or worse, to build detailed digital profiles that can be exploited.
If privacy matters to you (and it should), one of the easiest ways to limit tracking is to switch your search engine to DuckDuckGo.
Unlike Google or Bing, DuckDuckGo:
- Doesn’t track your searches or browsing history
- Doesn’t link your online activity back to you personally
- Doesn’t serve ads based on your private searches
Yes, you’ll lose some of the personalization features of bigger search engines, but in exchange you gain control over your privacy. This is a great option not only for professionals who value confidentiality, but also for families who want more privacy for their kids online.
