They claim they don't track you. I use DDG for at least 1/3 of my searches (and have to add !g to the rest because I don't get the results I need).

Still, it's important to note DDG runs on AWS, so Amazon still has access to the entire underlying infrastructure. If served an NSL, Amazon could track all traffic going to/from DDG. In theory, they could also grab the SSL certs from those servers and decrypt SSL traffic as well.

What you said is true of many websites, but this threat isn't relevant to the threat discussed in this thread: finding IP addresses in server logs.
