This CSS hides all google widgets and ad frames. The parts in the parens are element selectors and the bottom part in curly braces are where it removes visibility and size
This is how DDG is accomplishing its privacy partly. Once googles ad scripts are blocked the items in these selectors are just blank and this is to remove that weird whitespace left behind.
All of googles products except cloud exist to either sell customer data to companies to advertise to or they direct you to websites who pay.
They are an ad data company. Search is a means to deliver ads. Chrome, mail, docs, etc were all there for ecosystem lock in… for what money? Customer data. For ads. Google+? User base. For ads.

Google is an advertising company and secondarily , a cloud provider.
