There’s proof they allowed Microsoft to use trackers though…I dig DDG as they were one of the first functional alternative search engines to Google with an emphasis on privacy, yet there are much better options today. I’m going to have to peep kagi based on this thread, but I’ll need to be strongly convinced to switch from SearXNG.
You are thinking of a browser app, not the search engine. And by “allowing”, you mean “did not add to the blacklist of things to block when using their browser”. And they rectified this pretty quickly, so there’s a not insubstantial chance it was just an accident.
Blacklists are going to be imperfect by definition, if uBlock Origin misses a tracker I’m not going to say it’s “allowing” the site to track me
Being an accident would be news to me. Since it sources Bing for results, you’d think Microsofts trackers would be a focal point of their privacy approach. Sleeping on trackers known to be present isn’t a good look either way.
