On my son’s recommendation, I tried “Duck Duck Go” as a search engine. I know, silly name, but when “Google” first started I thought that name was pretty stupid too.

DDG features no IP tracing, no “ad tracking”, it just searches, and it seems just as fast and through as google, to me.

Now, if I could just figure out how to make this stupid I-Pad default to it, I’d be home free.

Something else nice about duckduckgo is that it doesn't seem to be doing the ‘preference filtering’ that google has moved to. More and more often, when my husband uses google, he can't find information that he knows he's found before, like old news stories, quotations that are more freedom oriented, etc. He kept telling me stuff was being ‘scrubbed from from the net’. When I do the same search in duckduckgo I find what he's looking for. It's Google ‘scrubbing’ the search results - the information is still on the net, Google has just gone political on what it wants you to see. To me, that alone makes duckduckgo worth using!
