Does DuckDuckGo Hide Your Data From Your ISP? Need Clarification! or Can DuckDuckGo Actually Hide You

DDG is privacy-focused, but it’s not a VPN. Your ISP sees you’re using it, just not what you’re searching.

If you want to go full ghost mode, use Tor. Or a VPN like ExpressVPN.

But for most ppl, DDG is enough.
