Sooooo not anti-pervert and a generic publicity stunt. Haha please laugh etc. Don't have anything against DDG but can only roll my eyes at something like this
Right. Anti-pervert glasses would at least require some lasers to meet the requisite qualifications.
I mean, I'm not gonna buy them, but I still enjoy the dad joke.
Fair - it's marketing.
But it's good marketing - lambasts a stupid thing that people dislike to promote a product that is selling the opposite (privacy).
Good goal, and the marketing is clearly working here we are talking about it.
Also DDG browser is awesome on mobile and Windows. Blocks many ads and trackers, even on YT. Lightweight, wicked fast, offers not only private search but private AI chat.
Use DDG Because Gemini is SUPER creepy when it inserts personal info in unrelated questions. It keeps inserting my family details in answering unrelated questions now... Like a perv.
Sometimes corny is fun
You can hide your eyes with the anti light version of the anti pervert glasses!
