Why are people such fans of Ddg and not searx.me? searx is entirely open source and you can run your own instance.
Ddg reportedly does collect some information (?), and their core is closed source.

Personally, I am highly skeptical regarding DDG and find much of their marketing to be hyperbolic (see the duck.com foolishness [0]). For me, I feel that if I'm just going to get Bing search results and Bing ads, I might as well just use Bing.
