Default A new but SECURE search engine

I just got this link from a cousin of mine who is in the computer software industry. Many of us use Google or Yahoo to do our Internet searches. Then we go to a website like Facebook and find ads for something we just searched for at Home Depot. Weird right? Well that is because sites like Google and Yahoo build a profile about YOU and then sell it to online advertising companies. So even if you are very carefull about your online presence, it is virtually impossible for others who want to know about you, not know about you.

This new search engine seems to be a step in the right direction. I am trying them out now and I want to see how long it takes before those ads don't seem so personalized.

Here it is. https://duckduckgo.com/
