Enye yezinkinga ezinkulu ezixoxwa ngazo njengamanje mayelana nobumfihlo be-inthanethi ukuthi abasebenzisi bakhathazekile ngendlela iziphequluli ezisingatha ngayo "ubumfihlo obuku-inthanethi obucatshangelwayo," okuholele ekutheni abasebenzisi abaningi bakhethe ezinye izindlela esikhundleni seziphequluli ezidumile ngisho nezinjini zokusesha.
Abasebenzisi abaningi baphendukela ku-DuckDuckGo becabanga ukuthi isiphequluli sizobavumela ukuthi bajabulele iwebhu ngaphandle kokuthi umsebenzi wabo ulandelwe. Kodwa ukutholwa komcwaningi wezokuphepha kwembula ukuthi izinto aziyimfihlo njengoba abasebenzisi bebelindele.
I-DuckDuckGo itholakale ivumela idatha ukuthi idluliselwe nge-Microsoft trackers ezizindeni zokukhangisa ze-LinkedIn ne-Bing. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-DuckDuckGo iyavuma ukuthi inesivumelwano ne-Microsoft sokugunyazwa kwamathuluzi okulandelela omshicileli we-Windows kumasayithi ezinkampani zangaphandle.
Isiphequluli se-DuckDuckGo esigxile kubumfihlo sivumela ngamabomu ama-tracker e-Microsoft kumasayithi ezinkampani zangaphandle ngenxa yesivumelwano esivumelwaneni saso sokuqukethwe kokusesha esihlanganisiwe phakathi kwezinkampani ezimbili.
I-DuckDuckGo iyinjini yokusesha ezigqaja ngobumfihlo bakho ngokungalandeleli usesho lwakho noma ukuziphatha kwakho kosesho. Futhi, esikhundleni sokudala amaphrofayili omsebenzisi ukuze abonise izikhangiso ezisekelwe entshisakalweni, i-DuckDuckGo izosebenzisa izikhangiso zesimo ezivela kozakwethu, njengezikhangiso ze-Microsoft.
Nakuba i-DuckDuckGo ingagcini izihlonzi zomuntu siqu ngemibuzo yakho yosesho, I-Microsoft Advertising ingase ilandelele ikheli lakho le-IP nolunye ulwazi lapho uchofoza ilinki yokukhangisa "ngokwezinjongo zokubala," kodwa ayihlotshaniswa nephrofayela yomsebenzisi wokukhangisa.
I-DuckDuckGo iphinde inikeze isiphequluli sewebhu esigxile kubumfihlo be-iOS ne-Android esithuthukisa izici eziningi zobumfihlo, okuhlanganisa njalo ukubethela kwe-HTTPS, ukuvinjwa kwekhukhi lenkampani yangaphandle, kanye nokuvinjwa kwe-tracker.
Esethulweni sayo ku-App Store, singafunda:
“I-Tracker Radar ivimba ngokuzenzakalelayo ama-tracker ezinkampani zangaphandle esingazithola kumawebhusayithi owavakashelayo ku-DuckDuckGo, ivimbela izinkampani ezilandela la ma-tracker ukuthi aqoqe futhi adayise idatha yakho.
Kodwa-ke, ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kokuphepha kwesiphequluli sobumfihlo se-DuckDuckGo, umcwaningi wezokuphepha uZach Edwards uthole ukuthi ngenkathi isiphequluli sivimba ama-tracker ku-Google naku-Facebook, sivumela ama-tracker e-Microsoft ukuthi aqhubeke nokusebenza:
“Ungathwebula idatha kulokho okubizwa ngesiphequluli esiyimfihlo se-DuckDuckGo kusizindalwazi esifana ne-Facebook’s http://workplace.com futhi uzobona ukuthi i-DDG AYIKUMISI ukugeleza kwedatha ezizindeni ze-Linkedin ze-Microsoft noma ezizindeni zabo zesikhangiso se-Bing. Zama ku-iOS ne-Android.”
Ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe kubonise ukuthi i-DuckDuckGo ivumela abathungi abaxhunywe ezizindeni ze-bing.com kanye ne-linkedin.com ngenkathi ivimba bonke abanye abathungi.
Ephendula ingxoxo ebanzi ka-Edwards ngalesi sihloko, i-CEO ye-DuckDuckGo kanye nomsunguli uGabriel Weinberg baqinisekisile ukuthi isiphequluli sakhe sivumela ngamabomu amasayithi okulandelela e-Microsoft avela eceleni ngenxa yesivumelwano sokuthengisa usesho ne-Redmond:
“Uma ulayisha imiphumela yethu yosesho, akaziwa ngokuphelele, okuhlanganisa nezikhangiso. Ezikhangisweni, sisebenze ne-Microsoft ukuvikela ukuchofoza izikhangiso. Ekhasini lethu lezikhangiso ezisesidlangalaleni, "I-Microsoft Advertising ayihlanganisi ukuziphatha kwakho ngokuchofoza isikhangiso nephrofayela yomsebenzisi." »
Futhi ukuqhubeka uthi:
“Ukuze kuvinjwe ama-tracker angahlobene nocwaningo (ngokwesibonelo esipheqululini sethu), sivimba ama-tracker amaningi ezinkampani zangaphandle. Ngeshwa, isivumelwano sethu sokuthengisa sosesho lwe-Microsoft siyasivimbela ekwenzeni okwengeziwe ezimpahleni ze-Microsoft. Kodwa-ke, siyaqhubeka nokuphusha futhi sithemba ukwenza okwengeziwe maduze. ”
U-Weinberg ucacise ukuthi lo mkhawulo usesipheqululini sakho kuphela futhi asithinti injini yokusesha ye-DuckDuckGo. Ekhasini lesimemezelo somphakathi le-DuckDuckGo, engxenyeni ephathelene nokusebenzisana ne-Microsoft, ithi:
“Sisebenzisana nemithombo eminingi eyahlukene yolwazi ukuze sinikeze i-DuckDuckGo Search (isb. I-Microsoft yezikhangiso, i-Apple yamamephu, njll.). Uma ubuka imiphumela yosesho (okuhlanganisa nezikhangiso), ukusesha kwakho akukwazi ukuxhunyaniswa nawe, yithi noma ozakwethu. Ngobuchwepheshe, kuyasebenza: asizigcini izihlonzi zomuntu siqu (isb. ikheli le-IP) namagama akho wosesho, futhi sidlulisela zonke izicelo kozakwethu ngathi.
Lokhu kwembulwa kufike ngesikhathi esibi, njengoba iDuckDuckGo isanda kugxeka iGoogle ngezindlela zayo ezintsha zokulandelela 'Izindikimba' kanye 'neFLEDGE', ithi: "Isandiso se-Chrome seDuckDuckGo manje sivimba indlela entsha yokulandelela 'Izindikimba' zeGoogle kanye nendlela entsha yokuqondisa kabusha izikhangiso zeFLEDGE. I-Google ithi zingcono ngenxa yobumfihlo, kodwa empeleni, inkomba iyinkomba, noma ngabe ufuna ukuyibiza ngani."
Okokugcina, uma unesithakazelo sokufunda okwengeziwe, ungathola imininingwane kusixhumanisi esilandelayo.
