A two-way street, but contrary to the values that DuckDuckGo stands for. DuckDuckGo allows Microsoft to track users, and then Microsoft will enable DuckDuckGo to use Bing results. Weinberg says allowing Microsoft to track users on DuckDuckGo results from a search syndication agreement between companies. DuckDuckGo allows Microsoft to track users on LinkedIn and Bing Of course, DuckDuckGo didn’t try to deny the news, and the company’s CEO and founder Gabriel Weinberg confirmed they have an agreement with Microsoft for permissible ad tracking. According to Bleeping Computer, privacy researcher Zach Edward has found this agreement between DuckDuckGo and Microsoft. This act is totally against DuckDuckGo’s policy and selling point. This agreement essentially applies to the browser, and not the search engine itself, that’s an important distinction. That’s because our product is a bundle of multiple privacy protections, and this is a distribution requirement imposed on us as part of the search syndication agreement that helps us privately use some Bing results to provide you with better private search results overall”.ĭuckDuckGo emphasizes that this has no bearing on search results and that search is fully anonymous. The company’s founder and CEO said the following: “I understand this is all rather confusing because it is a search syndication contract that is preventing us from doing a non-search thing. It is also noted that the agreement is a search syndication contract and this is a requirement within that contract, not a separate partnership as initially reported. DuckDuckGo wants everyone to know that “only one part of multiple privacy protections we offer is impacted by the agreement”. The company is “doing a lot to block MSFT tracking”, that includes blocking third party cookies. UPDATE (May 31): DuckDuckGo says LinkedIn and Bing tracking applies to some, but not all trackers. smarthphone-comparisions Smartphone Comparisons.ultimate-tech-gift Ultimate Tech Gift Guides.chinese-smarthphones Chinese Smartphones.ic_best-allthings-android2x Best Of All Things Android.ic_best-android-games2x Best Android Games.ic_best-android-apps2x Best Android Apps.ic_android-buyers-whatis2x Android What Is.ic_android-buyers-guide2x Android Buyers Guide.top-10 Top 10 Best Android Apps & Games.best-android-phones Best Android Phones.
