For many, the word "searcher" is synonymous with "Google." But in the vast Internet world, there are other options, and some, like DuckDuckGo, respect your privacy much more

If, for example, you use Google as the default search engine, you may have noticed that Internet ads seem to read your mind. Search engines - and especially those associated with your account - are able to identify us individually and generate a user profile, and that information is used by them to "improve search results" and also by other services to send personalized advertising .

DuckDuckGo does not collect or share your information, and does not offer "promoted" results, and the advertising that shows (that is not personalized and is destined to the financing of the project) can be deactivated in the configurations. In addition, its configuration options allow changing the appearance of the search engine, colors, fonts and themes to use.
