Whenever we think about searching for any of our quarries and surfing through the internet without any problem. The first thing which comes to our mind is Google. Google is the solution for most of the quarries and problems. And you can find and search for anything in it. And the amazing part is you got the answer or solution which you are finding. The thing is google knows everything.
But you know Google is not only a search engine you can use. There are many different search engines that are available to search our quarries like Bing, Yahoo, etc. But there is one search engine that is slightly different from this search engine which we use is duckduckgo.

The privacy of duckduckgo is very high that’s why from iOs8 Apple uses duckduckgo in their search engine list in its browser.
