I use an app called TrackerControl on my Android phone, and it caught several trackers on DDG, so I stopped using it. Do I know for certain that the app is absolutely accurate? Nope, but it's a good FOSS that I have been using for a long time and developed a trust relationship with, so I'll avoid what it warns me about. App is available on F-droid if anyone wants to try it.
I've been using DDG for the last year and pretty happy with it
Hell yeah. I consider myself privacy paranoid and have been using DuckDuckGo for 5 years without any problems so far. It is pretty strict about its privacy policy.
What's wrong with startpage.com?

It’s better than google, and so it’s a good start.
There will always be some compromises and depends on your thread model. While DDG is not perfect, I still use it daily as it's not GOOGLE. I also try other search engine as well like Brave.
