DuckDuckGo, The Search Engine That Doesn't Track You Like Google Does, Just Got A Lot Better

[froggyboy604]

DuckDuckGo, the privacy-conscious search engine, is testing out a major update as it continues to try to put a ding on Google and Bing's search market share. 
 
DuckDuckGo has added an image search, auto-suggest, and places search feature. It's still in beta, but DuckDuckGo plans to officially relaunch next month, DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg wrote on the company blog.
 
Following the PRISM revelations, DuckDuckGo saw a record number of searches in June. Its traffic has continued to increase ever since. This month, DuckDuckGo's traffic has averaged more than 5 million searches per day.
 
Unlike Google, DuckDuckGo doesn't track your clicks across the Web. So if the government were to come knocking on DuckDuckGo's doors, seeking information, they would have no way to tie that information to individual users.

It's good to see that DuckDuckGo now has image search,  auto-suggest, and places search feature. Wow, surprise that DuckDuckGo now has 5 millions searches a day.

It is a pretty good search engine. It's website loads and run pretty fast on slower internet connection. There is even a version of its search engine at https://duckduckgo.com/lite%C2 load very fast on dial-up.
