Protecting your online Privacy and Info - DuckDuckGo, how to avoid being tracked Online

Have you ever searched for a product or service online and then found that webpages or social sites you visit are full of ads for the items you searched for?  Internet browsers and search engines are tracking your information and sites that you visit.  Your information is a revenue source for these companies and they are compromising your personal information for profit.

Now there is an extension for Chrome that works to secure your information.  It is called DuckDuckGO.

DuckDuckGO's statement is that "We Don't store your personal information.  Ever."

The invasion of American's privacy is pervasive and wider than you think.  Facebook is under attack for privacy issues and many have turned to messaging apps such as Whatsapp, yet Facebook owns Whatsapp.  Waze the popular GPS mapping system is owned by Google.

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials.

The DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials app is only available for Chrome currently.  I have added the extension to Chrome on my desktop and set it as the default extension.  Privacy Essentials is free and there are other extensions available based on your needs.  Currently, I only have Privacy Essentials installed.
