Comment (by cypherpunks): Replying to [comment:31 heyjoe]: > DuckDuckGo is hosted on Amazon which means Amazon receives info about all searches. Well the Tor Browser is supposed to protect you in case DuckDuckGo or its evil hosting platform try to hunt down your identity. So even if it was bad, it's still good with the Tor Browser. Also they don't use Amazon for European folks, i.e. a significant portion of exit bandwidth. If you're still afraid, then use their onion service at the very least (which you can find on `about:preferences#search`). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4902#comment:36> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
