I can't tell if these posts are astroturfed or not. Every other day there's a top post on HN to use DDG (which is mostly a wrapper over Bing) as the default search.

This is a Browser from DDG, not their search engine.

It claims to block trackers like Google and FB, and provides other privacy related features.

Does not say what it's built on... Probably chromium.

lol I know right, same with Brave.
