The project announced today the introduction of a new feature called “Sync & Backup,” which allows users to import bookmarks, passwords, and personal settings from other browsers to DuckDuckGo. Moreover, it enables users to move that data from one device to another or restore it on a new device in case they lose their original device.
DuckDuckGo’s announcement declares that the new feature can do the following:
Privately sync and access the bookmarks and passwords saved in your DuckDuckGo browsers – including any you’ve imported from other browsers – across multiple devices.
Back up passwords, bookmarks, and favorites in case your device is lost or damaged.
Migrate your bookmarks and passwords to a new device.
Sync your Email Protection account between devices.

I’m not terribly thrilled with it, but a lot of VPNs do as well. Plus, this is their business model. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product. If they’re caught double dipping (taking our money and lying about logging to sell), they’ll be out of business shortly.
They do claim to log practically nothing. https://kagi.com/privacy
Yeah, there are definitely better alternatives. If they allowed you to pay in cash and there website was free of non-free JavaScript I would be at least willing to try it.
