Overview
DuckDuckGo provides a search engine that prioritizes user privacy by not tracking search history or personal information. Users can search the web without their data being collected, ensuring a secure browsing experience. Unlike traditional search engines that rely on tracking user behavior for targeted advertising, DuckDuckGo earns revenue through non-tracking ads and affiliate partnerships with e-commerce sites. This approach allows DuckDuckGo to maintain user privacy while still generating income. The company also focuses on educating users about online privacy through its platform, SpreadPrivacy.com, which offers tips and research on the topic. DuckDuckGo's goal is to set a new standard for trust online by empowering users to control their personal information.
