However, while performing a security audit of the DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser, security researcher Zach Edwards discovered that while the browser blocks Google and Facebook trackers, it allowed Microsoft trackers to continue running.
DuckDuckGo CEO and Founder Gabriel Weinberg confirmed that their browser intentionally allows Microsoft trackers third-party sites due to a search syndication agreement with Redmond.

Looks like #Microsoft may have an extensive profile on me, then. I have used #DuckDuckGo for years and promoted it.
It's likely still better than using #Google search directly... but disappointing to be finding out what compromises DDG has made.
@retroedgetech @poga looks like time to go back to #searx or try #whoogle

@poga Well then I am glad that I switched from duckduckgo when they started censoring results then. Hopefully Brave which I use now doesn't end up the same.
@poga I don't use the DuckDuckGo browser, but I still foolishly believed that they wouldn't do something like this.
@poga I wonder if this is actually gonna hurt DDG in long run...
@poga Bad duck!
@poga Yikes.
