DuckDuckGo CEO: We Never Promised Anonymity!

Statement from DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg:

We have always been extremely careful to never promise #anonymity when #browsing, because that frankly isn’t possible given how quickly #trackers change how they work to evade protections and the #tools we currently offer. When most other #browsers on the market talk about #tracking #protection, they are usually referring to 3rd-party #cookie #protection and #fingerprinting #protection, and our browsers for #iOS, #Android, and our new #Mac beta, impose these restrictions on third-party #tracking #scripts, including those from #Microsoft.

What we’re talking about here is an above-and-beyond protection that most browsers don’t even attempt to do — that is, blocking third-party tracking scripts before they load on 3rd party websites. Because we’re doing this where we can, users are still getting significantly more #privacy protection with #DuckDuckGo than they would using #Safari, #Firefox and other #browsers. This blog post we published gets into the real benefits users enjoy from this approach, like faster load times (46% average decrease) and less data transferred (34% average decrease). Our goal has always been to provide the most #privacy we can in one download, by default without any complicated settings.

Having pioneered such networks, we were invited to guide Silicon Valley three decades or so ago on building Digital enterprises for the Wild Wild Web*. Today, we are ready to again lead Silicon Valley to further advance human-driven technologies in collaboration with the AFRL..." - Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, Founder, AWS-Quantum Valley™: BRINT.com Know-Build-Monetize™ Networks: YM-ABC™: YogeshMalhotra.com: AIMLExchange.com : BRINT.com : C4I-Cyber.com
