I used the DDG browser for a while and liked it. But then I read someone talking about some weird shady shit going on with them.
I installed Brave browser and it's pretty awesome. Still using DDG for the search engine but I think I'll keep the Brave browser for sure. Give it a try.
I've had Brave for a long while, but never fully made the switch until recently and I gotta say, it's definitely built for the user, instead of the provider. Really pleased.
As a digital marketer, I can tell you that multiple platforms are tracking you across multiple sites. It’s not nefarious on it’s surface as it’s businesses trying to track and market to users. However it does exist and it’s part of the reason I no longer use social media.
Twitter (along with just about every other major site's) cookies follow you everywhere. Use a browser plugin like privacy badge or ghostery to block them all.
That's nothing new. Google Analytics and Twitter cookies are on SO many sites, even ones that show no outward affiliation.
You may not know it, but most web-browsers have a wonderful thing called Developer Mode (usually F12 or F11 in common browsers).
Turn on Dev Mode, go to the Network or Networking Tab. Refresh the page you are looking at and see what addresses pop up in the network tab. All sorts of assholes are trying to secretly slip one in.
dare i say this needs a sticky? Some people still use twitter for business reasons.... time to educate people like me (i dont have twitter or anything im just stupid on computers) about vpns and stuff?
Brave also tells you how many "creepy things" are trying to track you. I love that it calls them "creepy things."
Yea use Brave. Not only do I notice a substantial speed increase loading pages but it also blocks “creepy things” lol.
The CEO is based af too
The damn icon for the app looks like the MAGA Lion party honestly.

I liked it except for the bookmarks-can't be sorted as you will.

That's nefarious enough, consumerism's one of the biggest weapons against us.
I should say that the businesses aren’t trying to do anything wrong. A lot of my clients were mom and pop shops trying to keep up with Amazon.

Well,welcome to you! I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for about eight months!

You know gab exists right?

I just got it after seeing this.
What do you fine folks think of Opera? That's what I use nowadays, and it thankfully has a similar function to block trackers.
Seriously, to think Twitter was tracking me all this time and I never noticed...
Get a raspberry pi, install nextdns or pi hole on it, connect to your network. Does a great job blocking alot of that tracking bullshit.
Use Brave
I came here to say this.
Duckduck is awesome.
Really enjoying Brave browser on both desktop and phone. Also have new protonmail email and trying Quant browser. So long google
