Suggestion
If you need even stronger anonymity, stronger privacy and stronger security, including hiding your IP address, you might be interested to consider using Tor Browser to search DuckDuckGo. Get the free Tor Browser at https://www.torproject.org/download/
Tor Browser is powered by Firefox.
Strength
• Free
• Open source. If you are not familiar with "open source", it means that Firefox is more secure. Because its code is publicly available for review and contributions at:
______• How to contribute to Firefox at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Introduction
______• Repository at https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/
• Attractive MPL 2.0 license. This means the software code of this software is owned and supported by a friendly not-for-profit community. Instead of a for-profit corporation. And more secure because its full code is publicly available for review.
• Firefox version 60+ (Quantum) is presently FASTER than Chrome and use less memory than Chrome. Compare to previous versions of Firefox, the Quantum version is twice as fast, promote parallelism, and has more intuitive user interface.

Challenge
• Tor Browser is much much much SLOWER than Firefox. But in exchange you get stronger anonymity, stronger, privacy and stronger security, including hiding your IP address.
Notes
• This is your reminder that Google Chrome spies on you. By default Google Chrome tracks your activity on the internet. Via sync, cookies, and various methods. After Google collected your information, they sell it in covert ways to total strangers. This is part of Google business model. This is your reminder that Google is a for profit corporation. By collecting your data and linking it to you, Google put you at risk for data breaches.

• Google Chrome is own by a for-profit corporation. It is not owned by a not-for-profit community. Usually a corporation first priority is to hoard money. Not serve you and protect your privacy.
