DuckDuckGo refused every independent audits
DuckDuckGo android app leaks your identity and websites you visit to them [1], issue they closed with a surprising reply
Issue happened again years later [2]
DuckDuckGo got caught with their shady terms with Microsoft (bing tracker drama)
They estimate 70M-100M users [3], you don't make 100M a year with that amount of users, either Microsoft overpaid them for the tracker, or they are hiding something
It's impossible to find their detailed earning reports, so nobody can confirm their claims, and yet it's being promoted as a privacy focused search by the media all around the world, why? despite these major flaws? i don't know
So who knows what they do else?
