Search engine DuckDuckGo

In this day and age it is impossible to imagine the world without internet search engines. From the start pages that used to be used, this has now completely changed. Search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing are the names everyone knows. In the last few years, a number of initiatives have been launched to better ensure privacy.

Certainly Google goes very far in advertising and tracking your data. Ads are based on locations, your internet history and interests. Of course, this can be very easy and simple, but for people who still respect their privacy, this is not desirable. Not everyone wants to be haunted by vacuum cleaner ads whenever you look for a new one.

DuckDuckGo and Brave

Then we come to the search engine DuckDuckGo and the Brave Browser combination. Brave Browser we have previously covered in our blog articles. This is a Browser where you have full protection against trackers and ads. Within the Brave Browser you also have the option to choose a search engine. DuckDuckGo is then the logical choice if you are going for privacy.

Statistics of DuckDuckGo

If you start looking at the last few months you'll see that the traffic and thus the searches made through DuckDuckGo are exploding. There are now over 22,650,841,391 searches entered into DuckDuckGo. When you look at the line in their traffic over the last few months it is growing exponentially. This is a sign that 1 DuckDuckGo is starting to get a lot more popular. And 2 that there are more and more people who like to keep their privacy guaranteed.

Within the Hosting of MijnHostingPartner.nl we also take the necessary steps to ensure that your privacy is guaranteed. On the site of MijnHostingPartner.nl you would also see that we do not use extensive tracking tools as many do. Some sites may use as many as 10 different trackers. Think of popular news sites and others.

We do not recommend to make full use of trackers and third party scripts on your hosting website. The more you load the slower your website will be. And the privacy aspect you can ask yourself. What do you decide to use? One of the titans or opt for privacy with DuckDuckGo?
