    Has DDG mentioned what data, if any, they send to those indexes? I’m just wondering if, say Bing, just sees a single “user” for DDG with all the searches. Then at least your query is obfuscated among all the rest. Still not ideal, but better than Google anyway I think. I also think that’s how Searx works.

      I hope they do. But I can’t really tell. Searx is another thing, since its code is FLOSS, and there are instances on different countries…
