This led me to install Brave after being irritated at the umpteenth mid-article malvertising redirect. Definitely recommend Brave. They even pay you about 75 cents an ad for fairly unobtrusive, plaintext, notification area ads.

This comes up so often on HN that I feel like no-one is going to be converted in either direction at this point but I suppose just for the sake of completeness:

That was actually quite helpful, thank you. Guess I'm a HN 10,000er today.

Okay, I am converted. Now is duckduckgo safe? Or is there an article like this about it too?

As far as I know DDG is fine. It's harder for a website to be quite so malicious, anyway.

Wow seeing this for the very first time. Very eye opening I must say.

I didn't know that. Do you know how much do they gain from that ad? Is it possible not to see any ad anyway?

It's opt-in, you can turn them off entirely if you want.
