Maybe the CEO can jump on here again and give us a bunch of back-peddling double talk about how they’re misunderstood, as when they were caught censoring news results.

I no longer trust DDG and switched to Kagi. Whether that’s better for privacy I’m not sure but at least their business is driven by user payments and not ads.

That my quoted search terms don’t get blatantly ignored was actually the impetus to move.
