Didn't say they are, but I have a feeling that this is exactly what the original commenter is missing
I have the same issue where DDG sometimes just doesn't give relevant search results. That's when I use Google. But I also use temporary containers and no google accounts, so I'm not getting personalized results and they're still better.
The fact someone doesn’t have an account does not mean they aren’t being tracked or that google (or any platform) can’t create a profile for you.
Not saying it’s effective with the containers you’re using though.
I beg to differ, they are actually essential in my case.
