DuckDuckGo will use Apple Maps

But then what's the point?

EDIT: This is an honest question, not snark. I'd appreciate an honest answer instead of a blind drive-by downvote. I don't learn anything about why a thin UI layer over a bunch of search engines I can access directly is useful for privacy if you just downvote my comment.

Because you're not accessing the search engines directly, you're going through a sort of proxy that hides your identity.

I have to agree I’m dissapointed by this. I thought there was at least one party with an independent web search engine.
