Thanks for bringing this up. I don't understand why people seem to automatically trust things just because they advertise as being more "private" than the alternatives. I guess none of us are immune to advertising tactics, but it's so important to remember that they have no obligation to be truthful and will lie every chance they get.

I am not claiming that DDG is bad or anything, I just don't like putting trust into something just because it says "you can totally trust me!".
