  DDG sold out and allowed trackers on the mobile app. It’s a slow slide but it’s inevitable

    I use the web site through Firefox Focus, I’m happy with that combo.

    Then again I also have a pi-hole on my network so… Yeah

      pi-holes can’t stop websites you use from collecting your data. they’ve already started accepting cash for things (by way of mobile browser.). it’s only a matter of time before it slides into more things- if it hasn’t already.

      currently I’m using start-page and it’s good enough for my needs. The advantage there is they’re in the EU, and have enhanced privacy requirements

  They also have AI, but it’s opt-in.
