I'm not super concerned as a user of the search engine and not the browser. When I see stuff like this it certainly gets me paying a bit more attention, but I think DDG is still fine and I don't mind using it while it continues to have the best experience for privacy-conscious search engines. This appears to be a legitimate issue with the browser, but nearly every bad headline I've seen about the search engine has turned out to be complete bs.

If this is enough to shake your trust in anything they touch, fair enough, but I'm not there yet.
