@RedpillBot Plus, DDG tracks what you click on. You don't need to go anywhere else to find this out, just observe that the links on the results (usually, but not always) don't go to the pages mentioned, but to DDG's server that turns out to be a redirect.
@RedpillBot The bit about SSL termination stuff is massive red-herring. 1) nginx is one of the most popular web servers, because it's easy and good. 2) If it can't decrypt your traffic it can't give you a response. Everything you send to a server gets seen by that server. Like e2ee, you can't stop someone copying the text of the message and sending it to someone else.
This is also how I tend to spot cuckflare, even when it's not actively fucking over lynx. It always identifies itself in the server header. Should cut that bit out.
Also the screenshot about user-agent and IP search is irrelevant, again, they have to see that info, so of course they can send it back. This doesn't even prove they're storing it. Configure your browser to spoof your UA as chrome or something. Location one is probably the same, in that it's probably just doing a lookup on your IP or something.
@RedpillBot@mint 🤔 Actually it might use a script to replace it, which also puts a trigger on the a to notify them when you click it. Well, that doesn't explain why it sometimes doesn't do it even without scripts.
