DDG exists to make money for itself. It doesn't exist to protect your privacy.
From google to github to mozilla to everything, you would think the tech idealism would have died already. People working in tech, especially the elite, are some of the slimiest and greediest people on earth. Where money goes, so go the greedy slimeballs. It's pretty much a law of nature.

I would love to advertise on a search engine that's independent of Google and Microsoft. Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo is not it.
