Hey guys, if you're looking for an alternative search engine with a different flavor, we came up with a discovery search engine that allow you to preview results before getting there and overall an upgraded user experience. oh We're in the process of going https and we don't track your search as well;-)
Your feedback would be very helpful.

I'm sorry but this is pure spam in this context. I think it would be far more prudent to submit this as its own post.
Come on, DDG is not storing datas, neither do we. This was a good feedback and we're looking for more?
Beside you know how hard it is to get just a fraction of attention from the community unless you game the stats...
Thanks for downvote :-S
Sorry, but I have to agree with malnourish here. I could understand you posting this, but not as a reply to my comment, which happen to be at the top of the page. If you think it's interesting enough for HN, submit it as a "Show HN".
But if you want my feedback, have it: for your "don't track" claim, I could trust you (after all, I have to trust someone in the end), but just loading the homepage send my data to Youtube (video) and Mixpanel (analytic).
Even your advertised feature, "preview the site before you browse it" is not exactly privacy-friendly. It just load the page in an iframe (if you guys want to do it right, see the ixquick-proxy on startpage and ixquick).
Also about the design, I don't think everything should be flat, but I just can't bring myself to like it. It feels like a '90s site.
Sorry for being harsh, but you pretty much asked for it.
If you consider it a "game" you should probably attempt to understand the rules of the "game". In this case, replying to the top comment with a non-sequitur self promotion is going to get you downvoted, and it did.
Since I won't see this again I thought I'd mention it - just becareful you might be violating a patent by displaying the resulting webpage of a link as an image. And I agree with the rest, this isn't the place for that.
