What the alternative? I came to DDG from Google and going back is non-negotiable. Brave search? Startpage?
I would use DDG (or any privacy search provider like startpage or Mojeek ) in Whonix and you want actual protections. Putting your faith in a for profit company to keep your safe when using their free online services ends in your being exploited somehow, somewhere, everytime. It's inevitable if you're the product.
I still think DDG is better than Google. Google can connect your search with lots of other services (email, youtube, android...). DDG obviously can't do that.
