DuckDuckGo flagged my post on Y Combinator

3 points by manofthunder ↗ HN
Guys , i exposed some flaws of duckduckgo but they flagged me in ycombinator.

Don't use ddg 1) Not open source in a nutshell 2) Have cookies in a nutshell but says, they don't have any cookies

Note:- In brave i saw it has 3 cookies i didn't even change setting but still ? Sometimes it shows 0 sometimes 2 cookies sometimes 3 cookies even if i had changed nothing

3)Duckduckgo not the only choice Yes, Duckduckgo is not the only choice there are cool open source alternatives for ddg. Searx( searx.be, search.disroot.org, search.snopyta.org) , Private.sh , whoogle , Jivesearch.

4)When clicked on a add ddg passes your data to the advertiser.

5)Ddg doesn't have instant answers like searx. You can use ddg in searx.

Hope you all understand if i miss any points then reply me:)
