DuckDuckGo Private Browser 17+

I noticed when you type DuckDuckgo in the app search that Google still pops up before it. The app you want always pops
Up on top and then other apps below and even then they go in alphabetical order. Yet google it right there on top. I have used DuclDuckGo for a while off and on. I have noticed a lot less spam. Not only emails but adds. The spam and adds I do get are of course things I see on google. Google has gotten bad about selling our info and using our info for illegal things. I have had enough and decided to stop using Google altogether. If an app or website I go to requires Google I will not use it. We have a choice and sooner or later these apps will be forced to fallow suit. I work for a company that has very strict internet access and very secure firewalls. Yet when I use DuckDuckGo I can access some of those website I can not with Google because of how secure it is. Not all websites because some of the URL’s are blocked with our firewall. I bet if they used DuckDuckGo it would change. So far I am impressed and will continue to use it instead of Google and the other’s. I will update this review when I learn more.

I don’t understand what the issue with these people are as this is the third one star review I have given them due to many errors I have seen from them. The one star review for this time is because as soon as my subscriptions were expired my iphone 15 pro max was hacked immediately and that’s because they have a really bad customer service and they are racist. I tried to work with them, but they wouldn’t work with me so I had no choice to give them bad reviews and they can’t get over it. I even mentioned if I get a call back with apology, I will alter my review and in the same review I mentioned that I will predict that these people are not gonna call to apologize because of their crappy customer service and what exactly happened. Nobody called to apologize but this time Luckily, nothing happened to my iphone when I checked it as it was the beginning when they got into my phone so they pretty much got into the private relay and they turned it off and everything was starting to not work then I reset it and each time you reset an iPhone it gives you a new IP address so I got lucky that I got to it early before anything happens . But I still have to reported and I’m also getting in contact with department of BBB see what the problem is with them. I don’t see an option where I can upload the screenshot that I have taken where they hacked me, but I wish they had an attachment where I can have the proof so everybody could see.

I would consider myself someone who really tries to find the best search engine that is clean, consistent, and has great user protection. I have tried a lot of search engines from Chrome, Brave, Edge, Safari; just to name a few. All of these platforms are not as user friendly as Duck Duck Go in my opinion and don’t make my data privacy and user safety as transparent and easy to use as Duck Duck Go. Having recently jumped on this platform after trying all the others, I can confidently say that I have uninstalled all the other search engines and have solely adopted Duck Duck Go as my main search engine. Beyond just user safety, I am a user that has pretty significant ADHD, meaning that cleaner, direct platforms when it comes to user navigation help me tremendously in staying to task and organizing bookmarks as I progress through the day. Overall, I really have found Duck Duck Go to be a phenomenal search engine in the first month that I have began using it and I honestly won’t go back.
