„DuckDuckGo, the search engine which claims to offer 'real privacy' because it doesn't track searches or store users' history, has come under fire after a security researcher discovered that the mobile DuckDuckGo browser app contains a third-party tracker from Microsoft.
Researcher Zach Edwards found that while Google and Facebook's trackers are blocked, trackers related to bing.com and linkedin.com were also being allowed through.
In response to the revelation, CEO Gabriel Weinberg essentially shrugged - telling BleepingComputer that the company offers "above-and-beyond protection" that other browsers don't, but that he 'never promised' anonymity when browsing.“
CEO Gabriel Weinberg. Every. Effing. Time.
Once you begin to really dig into the systems, you realize that "anonymity" is a unicorn. It doesn't exist except in a persons dreams. It is impossible to hide from those that watch all network traffic, like the NSA, or Recorded Future.
Each level of security protects you from a certain level of those that would find out about you, but nobody protects you from The Machine.
Now ^^^ THIS ^^^ is an uncomfortable truth.
Even that VPN doesn't keep u fully cloaked. Just to some trackers.

If the wording in DDG advertising states "no tracking", then it is false advertising and liable to lawsuit. I read about a non-lawyer regular guy making a living on winning lawsuits against companies for doing this type of thing. Where is this guy? Any other people wanting to make a claim?
Ddg sucks
Nor did he promise a rose garden. So there's that.
I am currently using Ecosia. At least they promised they would plant trees.
