I'm trying out Avast again after some years away. I like the changes & am just surprised that Avast doesn't recognize DuckDuckGo as THE most reputable search engine out there. Worse yet, I get the message repeatedly, despite having looked for a way to silence this errant alert.
In my long experience with DuckDuckGo, it is as fast & delivers as comprehensive as set of results as Google. it however scores major points by NOT TRACKING your search queries - unlike Google, Bing, Yahoo and the others.
Is Avast anti-privacy???
