How do you know Duck Duck Go actually prioritizes privacy though?

People on HN have said that Duck Duck Go is a for profit corporation that doesn't open source or independently validate their privacy claims.

(1) From a branding perspective, I don't know how much it matters. (2) e.g. If they're using my location data, they're terrible at it.

FWIW Searx is actually a pretty decent alternative, plus it's open source.
