That is correct. Tor Browser on Tails comes with uBlock Origin. It might be that DDG (or some other financial supporters) are not happy if the Tor Project ships TB with uBlock. There are many things to be blocked by uB even on DDG, Brave, MetaGer, etc. (although obviously they are much less invasive than you-know-what search engines). Purely privacy-wise they’re annoying of course. But understandably they do need to monetize something to provide search engines, and I think some of them are financially supporting the Tor Project too, or they’re helping each other, so… I don’t know. Just a guess.
Isn’t it like Mozilla has to be nice to Google? Ultimately, doesn’t this mean that end users are not making enough donations? People say privacy and freedom are important, but normal people really don’t like to pay for these important things, like assuming libre is like free beer!
