Google is likely the most well-known search engine there is. Even though it is widely used and now a part of daily life, there are still some issues with it.

Google has been charged with stealing user data in order to produce personalized advertisements. Many people started exploring alternatives since they did not like the concept of the business watching everything you did online.

Describe DuckDuckGo.

Search engine DuckDuckGo does not track its users. While DuckDuckGo chooses not to personalize your search results and cleans up your search history, Google gathers, stores, and links the data to your account to provide a tailored search result.

Since its debut, the search engine has expanded consistently. According to MakeUseOf, the number of daily searches increased from an average of 79,000 in 2010 to over 79 million in 2020.

The collaborations between DuckDuckGo and browsers like Safari and Firefox have contributed to some of this growth. Along with having native apps for iOS and Android, they have also partnered with Linux operating systems.

Google vs. DuckDuckGo

Along with search, Google also runs some of the most popular web applications, such as Docs, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and others.

Because Google has access to such a large amount of your data, its search results may be tailored, and its search page collects everything in one location.

DuckDuckGo differs in other ways because it does not have access to any personal data. According to Wired, it is only one of the numerous ways this search engine safeguards your personal information online.

The opposite of Google's targeted environment is this privacy-focused one. There are no customized advertisements, filter bubbles, or customized search results.

This is either one of DuckDuckGo's best or worst features, depending on your perspective. The absence of tracking can be the deciding factor for people who value their privacy.

DuckDuckGo, however, has bangs. Bangs enables you to perform direct web searches on non-DuckDuckGo websites. Bangs will allow you to type, so if you want to search a specific website, you can! with the search query and muo.

In addition, using any of the tens of thousands of bangs accessible on DuckDuckGo while looking for a website directs you to the site itself rather than the search engine's results.

You can include it!g with your search to view that particular page if you happen to miss Google's search results.
