DuckDuckGo is our preferred search engine.
Why do we use DuckDuckGo?
The developer state on their website that: "Google tracks you, we don't."
They also confirm our suspicion that "Incognito Mode" isn't really private.
And state: "Our apps block most hidden trackers. Same internet, more privacy."
If you would like to block third parties from tracking you when you use the web, then you too might like to try using DuckDuckGo.

And things just got even better!
The developer has just launched Duck Player to improve your YouTube experience!
Imagine that, listening and watching YouTube videos without the constant interruption of annyoying ads.
Quote:
"Duck Player is a free YouTube player available in the DuckDuckGo browser for Mac and Windows that lets you watch videos on YouTube without privacy-invading ads and keeps what you watch from impacting your recommendations.
The browser’s built-in video player protects you from tracking cookies and personalized ads by enforcing YouTube’s strictest privacy settings for embedded video, all within a distraction-free interface. In our testing, Duck Player prevented ads from loading on most videos altogether. When watching with Duck Player, YouTube can still log video views, so it’s not completely anonymous, but your viewing history does not contribute to your personalized recommendations or your YouTube advertising profile."
