Private Search With Maps
Apple provided a MapKit JavaScript framework so third parties can add interactive maps to websites. DuckDuckGo is one of the first global companies to use it to give users better private search.
In line with its privacy stance, DuckDuckGo doesn’t send personally identifiable information to Apple or other companies when you search with it. For local searches when your browser sends location data to the search engine, it’s deleted after use.
Great news.
Been Using DDG for a while now and although once in a while I will fire up google…. generally DDG is more than adequate for me primary search engine.
