Even if that's true: It still is prone to enshittification.

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.

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.
