If DuckDuckGo doesn't track me, why does it want to run scripts on my browser from totally unrelated websites?
Did I fall for ANOTHER botnet?
lmao
>>52471373
That's not duckduckgo, thats your browser and its extensions
>>52471373
>visualstudio.com
?
>>52471415
Are you blind?
visualstudio.com for some reason wants to run a script sourced from duckduckgo.com on my browser when I access the former site.
>>52471373
>being this retard
>>52471427
It's probably just a duckduckgo search function embedded on the visualstudio page you're looking at.
>>52471427
Give the url. I don't see shit about ddg at visualstudio.com homepage
First of all, DDG owner is a filthy kike and sells your data.
Secondly, you're retarded.
use startpage.com
startpage gives you google results, unlike ddg, so you actually find what you're looking for.
it has its servers in the EU, unlike ddg.
they've been around for longer and unlike ddg the founders are not known for selling userdata in the past.
ddg is shit, you should not trust them.
>>52471427
How does Javascript track you without cookies? If tracking is so easy without cookies, then why does everybody use cookies instead of the easy to use Javascript method?
>>52471489
I usually use SP for searches, but I have DDG as my default because of bangs.
cuckcuckgo advertised on 4chan, that should tell you how trustworthy they are.
and the owner sold his previous project, including all user data, for millions. he's a kike
>>52471489
>use startpage.com
or better yet https://duckduckstart.com/ (start page with bangs)
>>52471533
Now THIS is what I needed.
Thanks, anon.
>>52471528
>because of bangs
why route all of your search queries through ddg's US based servers when both firefox as well as chrome have keyword search built in? are you retarded?
>>52471533
>bangs
there's that word again.
see >>52471554
>>52471554
Because I'm not using a botnet browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
>>52471572
Ok, let me just set up 1000 bangs. Are you fucking retarded?
>>52471574
if you're using a browser without keyword search you're using a shit browser. no amount of memes will change that
>>52471591
I will not join one botnet just to escape from another botnet.
>>52471589
>1000 bangs
>let's make up extremely improbable situation to excuse my idiocy
>guess what
>>52471554
Because they can't identify me from the thousands of users who use DDG at the same time as me. Do you believe they keep logs about who seached what?
>>52471589
typing !yt instead of just y takes longer. in the long run you save keystrokes and time by setting up your own keywords. your loss
>>52471625
>>let's make up extremely improbable situation to excuse my idiocy
7,627 bangs and counting
Eat shit.
>>52471589
name 1000 search engines you're using
>>52471647
>7,627 bangs and counting
Proof.
>>52471631
If you can find me a one click install solution for all ddg bangs, then I'm game.
>>52471647
i have 10,000 keywords set up and i can set up an unlimited amount of keywords, unlike you. you lose.
>>52471373
Do a browser clean up to remove the toolbars and adware that you problably installed, as the tech illiterate you are, and use HTML version of DDG if you're still paranoid:
https://duckduckgo.com/html
>>52471663
https://duckduckgo.com/bang
>>52471673
>HTML version can't track you
>the hoops people will jump through in the HOPES they aren't being tracked
>>52471678
Nigger, I don't care about 7620 you won't use.
>>52471687
there're no javascripts at least.. you keep using google good boy.
>>52471800
>javascripts
Because JS is literally the only way to track.
>you keep using google good boy.
You know me so well :^)
>>52471373
>Why?
You browsed to visualstudio.com using DuckDuckGo. When you click on a link, DuckDuckGo would like to know somebody clicked on this search result, because the search results are sorted by popularity.
If you don't like this, don't use DuckDuckGo, it's that simple.
>Botnet
Search engines are not botnets. A botnet is a client/server model with malicious intent. Clients get infected, typically without consent of the owner or him being aware thereof, which are called zombies and in turn infect other machines while awaiting commands from the command & control server.
This is fundamentally different from you visiting a certain website, because *you* visit the website, and not something else you're infected by. Saying X is botnet is just another meme you fell for here. Id est, you should've fucking known better.
>>52471515
>How does Javascript track you without cookies?
Fingerprinting. There are several singularities that can help pinpoint your browser among millions: https://panopticlick.eff.org/
>then why does everybody use cookies instead of the easy to use Javascript method
Cookies are easier and not every web page is evil
>>52472044
My fingerprint is not unique. So how exactly do they track people without cookies when my browser is 1 in 1000 just like me?
>>52472141
They just track those they can.
>>52472141
Some sites add the utm_source parameter to the url so the linked site can know where the user came from.
There's also the referrer HTTP header sent by browsers.
>>52471515
What is
>botnet = new WebSocket(botnet.com);
>botnet.send(mykeystrokes);
>>52471471
You literally can't prove either of those statements. LEL!
>>52471697
It's about minimizing tracking, not eliminating it altogether. You can't avoid it fully.
use Qwant.com it's better then googole or somthing else
>>52472547
Hate to be that guy, but that's actually calling home, spying. Actual botnets use your computer to do stuff like mailing spam, mining bitcoin or DOSing someone. I hate how they use "botnet" for privacy issues
>>52471824
>Because JS is literally the only way to track.
>implying I implied that
I know they can have server-side scripts running and collecting data, I did it on my wordpress blog once with php ;p but other than startpage, are there any real alternatives to ddg?
>>52471373
>trusting a duck
>>52473123
Aside from startpage/ixquick, what is there?
>>52473208
cuel
>>52473259
This crap? it doesn't even use SSL.
>>52473377
SSL has been deprecated by the IETF as per RFC 7568 due to well known security issues in the protocol. Use TLS instead, preferably TLS 1.2. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7568
>>52473208
Searx and Yacy
>>52473493
Thanks, in china and ddg and startpage/ixquick are banned
>>52472621
You're being that guy.
>>52473493
>Yacy
I didn't know about this, seems promising.
>>52471373
Are so you paranoid that you actually think the government is watching your google searches akmed?
>>52471373
> trust us, everything is okay, we don't track
> our source is closed, we have something to hide
It's that simple.
>>52472576
>You literally can't prove either of those statements.
You literally can do a simple search.
>>52475961
Except it is opensource. You can go to github right now and look at it
DDG is a honey pot.
If you didn't know that then you do now.
>>52478690
Nigger are you retarded?
Why knows what they are actually running?
>>52479416
This. There's no secure search engine besides the one you host yourself.
>>52472044
You can just block fingerprinting with CanvasBlock.
>>52479017
this use qwant
I guess I'm the only one who prefers ddg search results to google results. The only place lacking is images and video, hard to compete with google there.
>not emailing your normie friends for links to good websites and compiling them into a text file or database
Just use Scroogle
oh no
it's DDoSed to death by Google ages ago
>>52471426
>FROM totally unrelated websites
>>52480024
this
>>52482391
>normie
go back to reddit, they're called normalfags
>>52471554
Because I'm lazy and it's easier to just use DDG than set up custom search keywords for both firefox and chrome and sync them across multiple machines and platforms.
Fuck fuck slow is a fucking nsa honeypot you idiot
It came out right after snowden made his reveal and it advertised solely on 4chan and other "sketchy" websites
>>52484673
Scroogle was owned and trademarked by Microsoft you idiot
>>52485584
I lived like you live for years.
Then my house burned down 2 months ago. When I bought a laptop, new phone, etc., I made a point to start organizing bookmarks and shit from the get-go. Not surprisingly, internet browsing has never been so comfy. You're missing out. Know that your temporary "easier" isn't worth a shit compared to my infinitude of Easier. This, from a guy whose house burnt down.
>>52486858
How're you organizing and syncing your bookmarks? I've just resorted to periodic exports from firefox, but it doesn't sync to my non-x86 devices.
>using firefox mobile
>>52486858
Oh shit, typing sp instead of !sp isn't worth a shit compared to your infinitude of Easier!
Watch out guys, we got a badass here.
what are you talkin, nigger.
>>52472621
>being this new
YaCy is actually really awesome.
Sure the search results aren't going to be as good as Google/Startpage, but the important thing is that you can run your own search engine.
What this means is that you can index the pages you want, and keep a local cache of pages too.
For example, you can set it to only use the local cache, web crawl all of the documentation pages for the languages and libraries you use, then use it as a documentation searcher, without having to deal with all the StackOverflow clones shit that turns up during a Google search.

>>52471515
Are you joking? google analytics uses almost exclusively javascript tracking.
It collects a couple things about you (browser, height and width, available cookie info etc) and does an image request to Google with your info in the url (ex: www.google.com/img?width=100+height=200+etc=true)
images escape CORS so the browser loads it no problem on any page, and Google gets the info they want through the request without using any fancy AJAX or whatever.
It still uses cookies for fingerprinting, because obviously the more they can relate all the info the better they can know exactly what you did and cater ads to you. And give stats to whoever put the google analytics on the website in the first place

Yes OP, you did fall for a Botnet.
Check the DuckDuckGo Folder:

>>52490931
Great collection, but some grasping at straws m8. I'd give it a 6/10. You should let visitors know a good deal of that is pipe toting.
You're not really trying to hide ISIS content with your security obsession, are you? Just use google.
