Try Startpage.com instead of Ddg. It will give you the the same results as Google, but with the privacy features of Ddg.

Startpage appears to have been around a while and seems relatively open.

However, how does Startpage make money?

In fact, how does DDG plan to make money?

DDG proxies ads from Bing and so they make some revenue from that. It's a small team so it seems to be enough (for now anyway).

Startpage shows text ads (similar to how Google Search ads used to be long ago). And it claims not to record the IP address [1].
