> You trading potential tracking by thirdparties with potential tracking by yourself.

You're not making any sense. Proxying all requests is the only way to shield you from being tracked by third parties. If DDG wants to track you they don't need some convoluted dance - you're already on their website.

I don't trust their website either but the user-agent that I use that has enough anti-tracking measures I trust (whether those might be defeated is an orthogonal topic). The redirects through their servers... I cannot control what runs on it, just as I cannot control what terms they sign up with Microsoft.
