DuckDuckGo seems to be a metasearch engine that pulls from other sources and integrates the results somehow. It mainly uses Bing/Yahoo search. Yandex is also one of its sources. It shouldn't have a lot of risk if it's anonymizing the data sent to Yandex. I think there's bigger risk in network-level hacks of Ukraine by Russia where they could look at traffic directly or via stolen logs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine https://duck.co/help/results/sources https://duck.co/help/results/sources
