DuckDuckGo positions itself as a search engine that puts privacy first and as such it does not store IP addresses, does not log user information, and uses cookies only when required. As of February 2021, it had 98,788,333 daily searches on average. It also uses data from crowdsourced sites, including Wikipedia, to populate knowledge panel boxes to the right of the results. Other companies like Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and StartPage repackage Bing and Google search results.ĭuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources, including Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Bing, Yandex, its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot) and others.

UPDATE: I saw several similar articles never mentioning DuckDuckGo until this one.
