Pretty sure that's chromium too. I'd rather just use Chrome though. I'm pretty sure duck duck go sells user data. At least with Google they tell you what they use your data for instead of acting like they are saving the world.
Their entire business model is just reading Google's TOS and finding some small detail to make a big deal out of that really means nothing.
Duckduckgo doesn't have anywhere near the capacity to collect data that google does, and their ads are keyword based, rather than being influenced by other data. Their search engine is really the only thing I'd recommend using however since their add-on and browser don't offer anything that others don't.
Still doesn't solve the problem of being fully relient on Google for codebase.
