Didn't DDG get caught allowing some Microsoft tracking and blocking some search results a couple of years back? Personally I use Firefox and starpage as a search engine.

Personally, I found people to be overreacting and DuckDuckGo‘s actions reasonable and transparent. Here’s the story:

I’ve used Startpage until they got bought by an ad company. Haven’t looked into it since then:
