DuckDuckGo, the search engine which puts users' privacy first, completed a $100 million funding round recently, a company blog says. The investors included included OMERS Ventures, Thrive, GP Bullhound, Impact America Fund, Brian Acton, Tim Berners-Lee, Freada Kapor Klein, Mitch Kapor, and others, the blog says. The new finances give the company the ability to keep growing. The company will now be able to advise more users on a new solution for internet privacy. "Privacy is freedom. It treats people like people, not data points, and empowers anyone online to escape manipulation from online profiling," the blog says.
