Remember DuckDuckGo? The search engine that blocks parked pages and pages that serve up ads?
Well, they are now advertising on billboards in the San Francisco area.
DuckDuckGo Challenges Google on Privacy (With a Billboard)
When talking about the idea, Weinberg built a quick website, donttrack.us, at the suggestion of friends, which took off earlier this month, and itâs privacy message seemed to resonate with users. In fact, DuckDuckGoâs traffic doubled after the site got attention on Hacker News and Stumbleupon and is now up to about 160,000 queries a day, which equates to about 5 million queries a month.
