Doesn't suprize me as DuckDuckGo has been moving in some strange directions for a while now. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like their product has seen much innovation ether. I'm all in on Brave Search.
Yeah people believe all kinds of things. Look how bad Google is, and how good is DDG compared to the big evil. A few years later: well, DDG also has evil traits. Now go, abandon ship and use Brave search. People still don't know jacksh*t at all about Brave, who they are, who they work for, what are their intentions. And this continues ad infinitum. Just follow some authetic looking figure's recommendations like a monkey.
