they use bing only for some stuff, not as their backend. they will do just fine without bing.

That's my main concern. Duckduckgo is used more than Bing in many countries and Microsoft might just cancel their access some day.
There is always Yandex I guess

#6So nobody will mention Mr. Weinberg business history. His last company used to accumulate private personal user info and then sell all to brokers and advertisers.
DDG and privacy is a literal oxymoron just like Brave and privacy are. Google and Microsoft Edge are more private even though neither has any privacy.

Maybe he's changed. Is there any evidence to suggest DDG is anything but honest?

#10Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you have any source? They have always avoided the question of how much they were dependent on Bing.
AFAICT, other than those information boxes that turn up on the top of searches, the actual search results are almost entirely powerer by bing, although as you said, they've always dodged the question.
