DuckDuckGo Search Engine Erects Tor Hidden Service

Posted by timothy on from the what-does-anonymous-want-to-see dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Viewable with Tor installed, search engine DuckDuckGo has erected a hidden service for secure, encrypted searches through the Tor network. While past attempts at hidden service search engines failed due to uptime or quality issues, DuckDuckGo marks the first time a real company operating a public search engine has offered a solid search engine as a hidden service for Tor users."

    iranian leader Ahmadinejad gets a dirty sanchez... DOH! You have failed me, Google! Go now and think about what you've done!

    So you see, you don't need Tor to find some nasty shit on the Internet. You just need one of those pink things between your ears.
