I used to use it but switched to brave after reading that DDG lied about tracking.
Any others? (and not the one that requires a subscription, thanks)
FWIW though, I think that agreement no longer applies. I getchu though, on the principle of the matter, assuming they actually lied about it. E.g., if they said, "we don't let any tracking through," without mentioning their deal with Microsoft. If they just said, "we block most trackers," and let people hype it up in their heads though, that's kind of a gray area IMHO.
tbf I didn't know about the agreement no longer being relevant, but yeah, like you say it's a grey area and weakens the trust at least some.
If I don't find any better alternative I guess its back to the duck I go...
That's the reality of the situation unfortunately. No infallible heroes, just fifty shades of grey.
Looks like it. Still gonna keep my eye out for an alternative though..
