I only use the DDG search engine, but still a bit disappointed with the company....

edit: More detailed discussion...

edit: a lot of that technical discussion is beyond my pay grade. Anyone with a tech background who can distill it to the essentials for me?

Tried and quit DDG a few years ago. Don't recall why I quit.
It was disappointing.

Every time I think I’ve found some successful tech solution, something like this happens.

Oh, well, I just use it as a search engine.

I only use the DDG search thingy. I use it in Safari and Edge, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Edge is tracking my every move anyway.
