As much as I like DuckDuckGo and believe that privacy is a real concern, it's always healthy to be skeptical of surveying techniques. For example, the entire section on 'How do consumers react to private browsing knowledge?' is based on the following question:
> Private Browsing mode only prevents your browser history from being recorded on your computer and does not offer any additional protection such as preventing the websites you visit from collecting your information (e.g. your searches on a search engine). How does that make you feel?
> Options: Surprised, Misled, Confused, Vulnerable, Neutral, Content
Given the structure of the question and ratio of positive to negative answer options, I'm actually surprised that about a third of people were still Neutral or Content.

The whole purpose of private browsing then becomes to hide their porn history from family. Anything else? Nothing to worry about if you do nothing wrong seems to be the common saying.
