If I use DuckDuckGo as my search provider in Google Chrome, will my search queries still be sent to Google through the omnibar?
>>51918268
You are using Google Chrome. Why do you care about such trivial things as privacy ?
If you want to be serious about your privacy, stop using Google stuff. If not, changing your default search engine is not gonna help much.
>>51918268
If your search engine uses GET to resolve your queries then those URLs, that contain your queries, will be sent to google. The module responsible is the "malware protection" shit that basically submits all your browsing and files to them

What browsers care about privacy and aren't slow?
>>51918671
Firefox.
>>51918671
Firefox
>>51918671
All browsers are fast nowadays, speed diferences are less than a quarter of a second
>>51918671
>What browsers care about privacy
Firefox or any fork thereof. Actually Firefox is probably the least privacy-friendly, but unlike with Chrome you can disable anything you don't feel comfortable with.
>and aren't slow
I'm using Firefox and it's plenty fast. It all depends on how many shitty add-ons you boggle it with.

Sure thing

Fuck off shill. Firefox is fine.
The stuff it does send back to Mozilla is anonymous, but you can easily disable it completely if you want to. It's also as fast as anything else.
>>51918804
Look man, if your desire is shitposting, you can go to /b/ or /pol/.
>>51918840
The funny thing is that DDG isn't even that great of a choice if you're really worried about privacy. Shit's too commercialized and based in the US.
OP should switch to something like ixquick.com
>>51918804
Firefox itself is objectively the best browser. Whether or not you have issues with Mozilla is a different story, but just because you don't like the company doesn't mean they make a bad program.
>>51918671
Chromium
>>51918852
Firefox used $10k of donations to fund a project that removes the word 'slave' from master/slave documentation
After the CEO left, Mozilla got cucked
>>51918801
Lol
>Firefox not being logged by the SJW police
Enjoy your imaginary safety.
Did you audit their source code? Are you even capable of doing that?

Use palemoon and stop bitching.
K-Meleon seems okay and has nice settings, but the gui needs a do over
>I prefer using startpage
>But DDG keeps pulling back in because of bangs
>>51918944
I did use pale moon but read there are issues so tried out k-meleon
>>51918976
I see you are using Windows....
>>51918930
I've made the necessary changes to Preferences and about:config and it doesn't phone home AT ALL anymore, so whether I trust them with data I don't even provide them in the first place is irrelevant.
I have of course used a firewall to make sure those changes are sufficient and I could confirm.
>>51918998
I also use fedora m8
>>51918962
Just use your browser's keywords anon. No need for bangs.
>>51918896
Anon fell for the meme.
>>51918671
Firefox.
>>51918268
>actually using FuckFuckGo
You realize that shit is even more of a "botnet" than Google or Yahoo, right?
>>51919981
Tell me about any other "secure" search engine that has ddgs bang feature
>>51918930
>muh SJW
>>51920486
startpage
>>51918962
