I've noticed I am now getting hit by targeted ads relating to searches I do on duckduckgo.. the question is.. what search engine do I switch to now?

  Are you sure that the problem is searching on DDG and not the pages you click on? DDG claims not to track you; however, they have no way to prevent websites you visit from tracking you.

      You need a robust tracker-blocker.

          - https://www.eff.org/privacybadger https://www.eff.org/privacybadger - Wipe third-party cookies on browser shutdown - Also if you're interested, https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin You don't need anything else with that, though I'd recommend an ad blocker.
