DuckDuckGo vs. Google: Big contrasts in privacy and security

Here are the basics of the two search engines compared:

• A large part of Google's revenue comes from advertising. Optimizing this revenue is done by leveraging Big Data, as it makes advertising more personalized - and that leads to better conversions.
• Your personal data is thus extremely important to Google. By the way, the same applies to search engines like Bing or Yahoo!"
• DuckDuckGo starts exactly at this point: According to the operators, your personal data is never stored there, as a result, there is nothing that could be sold to advertisers.
• Additional features are the tracking blocker and special encryption. Neither your search inputs nor your location can be traced.

With DuckDuckGo, the search is thus the sole focus, and with the best possible security. To take full advantage of these benefits, it is recommended to install the browser extension. This exists for the most important browsers, first and foremost Google's in-house product Chrome.
