#12Nice. A few searches turn up relevant results. But I think it should return more than 5 results.

#13This is definitely a killer niche to fill given the current privacy conscious climate [around here]. Kudos.
"current privacy conscious climate" sounds like something Fox News would use. Just like we were all subjected to years of "...in these uncertain times." after 9/11.
And as said, this is probably the least privacy conscious the internet has ever been. Most people just don't care (They're also the ones clicking on ads).

Wow, really? Any references? I'd consider ditching them. They're not doing much for me anyway.

#19I have duckduckgo set as my default search engine in Firefox. Does anyone know how I can make it use SSL? In other words, make it use https://duckduckgo.com instead of http://duckduckgo.com.

If you're only logging the info provided in the GET request you only have less than 20 "bits of identifying information". They also use some Javascript to collect additional information, which increases the available information quite a bit.
