    people often wrongfully assume that they provide a privacy oriented service.

    What do you think they provide then? DDG sits between me and Bing, the latter doesn’t get my data.

      Microsoft does get your data. This is why i wrote that comment.

      Read the wikipedia entry. Microsoft and ddg have a long standing openly known about deal.

      Microsoft allows ddg to block bing trackers since 2022, ddg has always allowed them till then. but they must be getting something else to change that policy. No way microsoft is just giving api acces out of being good.

      Its getting tired to repeat myself, which are verifiable facts.

        which are verifiable facts

        “My source is that I decided it must be true.”

        You realize that DDG is a commercial company and they use part of the revenue to pay for third-party services they use? Or did you think they just run the service for shits and giggles?

          You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.

          I think the words of Gabriel Weinberg ( founder of ddg) as recorded on Wikipedia is a reliable source but you don’t have to believe him.

            Show me where Weinberg said that DDG continues to allow MS’ trackers to this day, or sends them other data, which is what you claim, continuing to weasel out of supporting it with any evidence except for “I feel that way”.

            Besides, you must have missed that the trackers affair was about the DDG browser, whereas this thread is about the search engine.
