> DDG hides free software results like Bing does
We went over this years ago. DDG gets its search results from several
different sources and mixes them together. We don't know exactly how this
works (since DDG's backend hasn't been released), but there is no evidence of
DDG's results being censored, irrespective of whether or not Bing does so.

Bing does.

privacy.
No company can be trusted with your privacy. What's your point? It has
nothing to do with charity work.
For searching, the only way to ensure your privacy is to go through a proxy
(e.g. Tor). Everyone should do this. You could say that DuckDuckGo is not any
better than Google (except to the extent that you like its search results
better), but there's no evidence that it's any worse.
