What privacy issues does Google have that Bing doesn't?

There's a basically an open laundry list; its fairly extensive in terms of tracking patterns/usage to violating their own "don't be evil" policy. Bing doesn't have nearly as much paid placement, but that could be economic vs policy.

Like I said though, I don't use either :)

That didn't answer my question.

The only downside to DuckDuckGo is the results are terrible -- I don't care the claims are, this search provider doesn't in the same league of intelligent search results as Google or Bing.

That hasn't been the case for me, its often more relevant than when I'd been searching on Google. Like I said, I switched and haven't been back. I'm a lot more productive and the ads are much less intrusive too.

DDG uses Bing + Google + its own secret sauce. I tried DDG for an year and was fairly satisfied but it was a hassle to even use hashbang (!g) with suggest. So gave up and moved back to Google. And Startpage.
