Also, why the hell are you hiding from, why DDG, I use BING on my phone and Google on my pc's and tablets, and I love it how they analyse all my activity and makes my searches even more relevant.
Are you somehow 12 and hope your mommies don't find out about your little secrets?
Also, for a really good hideout, just use TOR Project and you are GOLD!

First, I have full right to hide my own private activities from anybody and everybody. I don't want CIA digging through my web-activity just because most of Internet traffic goes, one way or another, through their country.
Second, I am an adult, not a child, even though I sometimes wish I could have returned to the past, 50-100 years earlier. Also, I expect that everybody has kept secrets from parents, at one stage or another, if only to surprise them with a gift for a celebration - there is no shame in keeping secrets, in having privacy. And there are much more interesting things to do than break laws just for the sake of rule-breaking.
Best wishes.

Wiki, I understand your point of view, but look at it this way, you can use whatever, SSL, DDG, TOR, and if CIA or whatever other organisations like this want to track you, they can! Is it surprising that even now some TOR (which is supposed to be the most secure internet browsing) exit points can be detected and traced back to you? If normal people can do that, think about since when the CIA can do that.
The second point of view I would like you to think about is this: Ok, you have the right to hide every personal information you want, and you hide it maybe from some of your friends (who can maybe use that against you), from your family (which can spoil a surprise). So in addition, you hide info from the circle of friends around you. Now, CIA gets all that data, and a unknown agent from USA reads it, he doesn't know you, you have no relation with him/her, so why even bother caring that an unknown person can see what you are using your internet for. You are not a corrupt politician, you are not part of the Mafia, you are nothing to be a headline for the CIA to track you in particular, you are just a user, one user out of several millions that get trough those CIA filters... So WHY EVEN CARE?

Do you happen to have curtains in your house? If so, why do you care that strangers can look inside and see all the activities you're doing in there? You're not a corrupt politician, you are not part of the mafia, ..
So don't just give out a free pass to track you when you got "nothing to hide", especially to strangers. Not knowing what one will do with your seemingly non-interesting data should be enough reason to not give it away. That's at least why I care.
Theox,
I can't believe your statements, coming from a Romanian. I spent a couple of months there, late ninetees, and I still remember people telling me of how afraid they had been, not only of the government or their police or intelligence agencies, but also of each other, as many remembered being reported to the government by their fellow villagers, for little "crimes" as not reporting a sleep-over at somebody else's house in a different village.

The only question NOT ASKED in this thread is the following:
Were you using Chrome or Firefox in sync mode? I experience this result ONLY after I got my Firefox browser synced all over my computers, the cookies gets synced between the pc's and so you get that result.
Also, why the hell are you hiding from, why DDG, I use BING on my phone and Google on my pc's and tablets, and I love it how they analyze all my activity and makes my searches even more relevant.
Are you somehow 12 and hope your mommies don't find out about your little porn secrets?

I get results in different orders when using both search engines. For example searching for "blazink" on startpage gives me first links to restaurants in the US with that name and then Flickr results while google does the opposite presumably due to me being far away from the US...
