Microsoft trackers? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/duckduckgo-browser-allows-microsoft-trackers-due-to-search-agreement/
Yes, in fact, DuckDuckGo's default search is also a Bing wrapper. Brave seems to be the best available option; it does some tracking but is at least building its own index. The results aren't there yet, but they are improving. Overall, none of them are perfect, but they're still nowhere near what Google does. I personally wanted to reduce Google usage, and DDG has definitely helped with that.
I use Brave a lot. Its great. One-click Tor functionality is nice too!
