DuckDuckGo browser allows Microsoft trackers due to search agreement

@voltronic There has been a ton of talk about this, but it is honestly nowhere near as bad as everyone is making it out to be.
It *does not* apply to searches through duckduckgo.com - it only applies to the DDG browser (which, for the record, has a feature to easily clear everything with a single prominent button).
DDG still blocks more by default than just about any other browser out there.
If you are serious about privacy you should be running PiHole to catch what browsers miss anyway.

Also, this isn't enough to make me stop using DDG. Even with this disclosure, they are still light years better than the tracking you see on Google.
@jgold
For me it's not a huge deal in and of itself, just that it kind of goes against calling out their competitors who use lots of this stuff.
Oh, and I've been on team pi-hole for years. Check my pinned posts.
