DDG is as good a stopgap as any right now. Enjoy until they exit. The system is fucked.

@humanetech @aral Guys, let's not fall into the same reactionary mistakes of mass social media culture.

People need to read beyond the headlines and from reliable sources.

This issue has nothing to do with DuckDuckGo search. If you're just using the DDG search engine then you're completely unaffected.

It is an issue with the DDG browser, where it doesn't block Microsoft's trackers on third-party websites.

We need to be better than this.

This is also good point. As long we use Windows and other Microsoft sofware, we don't have real #privacy, no matter how we decentralize or which search engine we use. We may avoid being tracked by Google but Microsoft is our biggest #VIRUS in our computers....
