Muchas personas han hablado de DuckDuckGo<\/a> (DDG) web browser, a private search engine, lately. The popular privacy-focused search engine that prides itself on privacy protection has come under fire for not being as private as people assumed. In recent years, the DuckDuckGo search engine has been the most popular alternative for people who want to avoid Google and other search engines that track users’ webpage online activity and data collection and have no internet privacy usage. It claims to block trackers from advertisers and filter out personalized search results. DuckDuckGo\u2019s<\/a> tagline implies that it is private, and its privacy structure is simple. However, a researcher named Zack Edwards revealed that there were some things DuckDuckGo.com did not tell users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por qu\u00e9 DuckDuckGo no es tan privado como se pensaba<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An investigation of DuckDuckGo’s browser showed that it had a contract with Microsoft para la sindicaci\u00f3n<\/a> search content. This means that some of Microsoft\u2019s sites can bypass certain tracker-blocking features of DuckDuckGo. As the entity stated before, it still does not store the personal information of the people who use it. However, the contract means that Microsoft can track users\u2019 IP addresses if they click on ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The allegations were affirmed by DuckDuckGo\u2019s founder and CEO, Gabriel Weinberg. He acknowledged that the company allowed some of Microsoft\u2019s trackers but strived to protect ad clicks. Also, he noted that DuckDuckGo search results and ads remain entirely anonymous. Weinberg emphasized that the trackin<\/a>g in question attempts to stop websites from loading third-party tracking scripts. He said that stopping them improves privacy and download speeds. DuckDuckGo plans to release an upgrade soon to enhance Microsoft\u2019s third-party security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poco despu\u00e9s de que las fuerzas rusas fueran enviadas a Ucrania, Weinberg anunci\u00f3 que DuckDuckGo comenzar\u00eda a bajar el ranking de los sitios web que difundieran la desinformaci\u00f3n asociada a Rusia<\/a>. Dado que muchos usuarios de DuckDuckGo que son partidarios de la privacidad en l\u00ednea son tambi\u00e9n promotores de la libertad de expresi\u00f3n, argumentaron que la decisi\u00f3n era injusta. Weinberg comparti\u00f3 la decisi\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de Twitter y recibi\u00f3 muchas respuestas desfavorables de personas que acusaron a DuckDuckGo de parcialidad y censura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all fairness, the platform did not mislead people in this aspect. The decision has nothing to do with privacy, which is one of the main reasons people choose the buscador<\/a> over others. As Weinberg stated, the key points of DuckDuckGo are privacy and relevance. The search engine is open with users about its content ranking feature that shows them more relevant content instead of less relevant information. Weinberg said that the company plans to continue its estrategia<\/a> for showing relevant results. Without a structure to show more relevant contenido<\/a>, the quality of all types of searches may suffer. However, the tracking issue still worries many users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
