DuckDuckGo also allows you to switch off ads, for free, without any fuss or adblocker needed. Just go to the settings page.

Although if you aren't going to support DDG with ad revenue, I'd suggest supporting with a donation if you can afford it and value their service.

I really don't mind helping DDG take advertisers for all they are worth as long as it doesn't cost me my privacy or waste too much of my time.

And if they take something away from Google in the process --- that's just an extra bonus.

Turnabout is fair play don't you think? Google has worked very hard to take privacy away from users.
