Ddg search engine

Oct 22, 2018 #13 OK. A little odd. I collected duckduckgo for the experiment. Normally I use Google search. Selected DDG as the default and deleted googleMy search engine is now DDGView attachment 9333DDG is my default search engine, but the alternative in that list is bing, and the 'remove' button is greyed-out so I can't remove it. When I open a new tab, it brings up the bing page, but if I ignore that and use the top line to search then it uses DDG. #14 The usual subversive behaviour from Ms, methinks.Sorry I cant offer more. DDG is not too familiar for me and there are various reasons why I am unable to use it. #15 The usual subversive behaviour from Ms, methinks.Sorry I cant offer more.

I suspect that MS have intimately entwined Edge with bing (hence the greying-out of the 'remove' button) so I may just have to put up with using the top line to search.

String) searches with bing. My guess is then that I just have to ignore the page itself and use the URL line to do the search. #6 Hi Andy,have you checked in Edge > Settings > Change search provider: Edit: It appears to be broken, I left a message for MS to fix it, I am sure they will have it done by April of next year!.

However, I can get by now if I simply ignore the bing search string box and place my string in the URL line at the top of the page. I would like to get bing completely off my machine, but it might not be very easy. #9 Thanks Wolfie but the point of moving to the DuckDuckGo search engine is that, unlike Google, it doesn't track you at all. #10 If you wish to make the search in Edge, return to the original download page using edge) the right it asks if you want to make it the default in Edge.After the operation is completed, you can then , once again, got through the setiings as you described, and selct it as your default. #11 If you wish to make the search in Edge, return to the original download page using edge) the right it asks if you want to make it the default in Edge.After the operation is completed, you can then , once again, got through the setiings as you described, and selct it as your default. Thanks Dave but that was the first thing I tried. DDG was indeed made the default, but the search string box in Edge still used bing. I didn't, at that point, test if the URL line at the top of the page used DDG. I know it does now, but ideally I'd like to ditch the bing thing. #12 OK. A little odd.

Won’t be possible unless there’s a modification to the terms. Weinberg has assured users that the DuckDuckGo browser prevents trackers from third-party opportunists. But the only ongoing exposure is to Microsoft due to the agreement. He, however, disclosed that they would open the discussion with the company soon to fix the clauses.Apart from disclosing the agreement with Microsoft, DuckDuckGo has also tweaked its description from claiming to be utterly anonymous to revealing exception addition. It now shows that the search engine is blocking “most” hidden third-party trackers instead of all.Also, DDG now indicates in its “Help Section” that the engine shares data with Microsoft. The details show that it has partnered with Microsoft for relevant ads in a privacy-enhanced manner. According to the details, if a user clicks on an ad now, a redirect link will take him to the advertising landing pages but through the Microsoft platform. Privacy options for internet usersThe internet is filled with criminals targeting users’ data and sensitive personal information. This is why many cases of data breaches, exploits, hacks, identity theft, and doxxing have become the other of the day.

Some of the things you can do include: Use privacy-centric search enginesAs things stand, it seems DuckDuckGo is not as private as many believe. Even though DuckDuckGo has failed in its claims of protecting users’ privacy, there are still some private search engine alternatives to
