I Ditched Google for DuckDuckGo. Here's Why You Should Too

What was the last thing you searched for online? For me, it was "$120 in pounds." Before that, I wanted to know the capital of Albania (Tirana), the Twitter handle of Liberal Democrat deputy leader Ed Davey (he\u2019s @EdwardJDavey), and dates of bank holidays in the UK for 2019 (it\u2019s a late Easter next year, folks). Thrilling, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree. But something makes these searches, in internet terms, a bit unusual. Shock, horror, I didn\u2019t use Google. I used DuckDuckGo.
