Hey, as someone who uses DuckDuckGo, they do unfortunately also engage in some cringe tracking. I think it's a bit less than Google, but honestly I don't think it makes much of a difference. They collect information about what you search for.

I might switch to Qwant or something. Not sure yet.

    Really? I've been using it for a while and haven't noticed tracking.

    What sorts of tracking have you seen them engage in?

    They display ads in search results, which they presumably do need to track clicks for. But you can literally just switch the ads off in the settings. And then you'll never see them again. They're on by default, but not mandatory.
