Does Bing offer the same privacy advantages (no tracking, no history based ads, etc.)? EDIT to add: I think nobody disputes or cares that most results come from (or equal) Bing results, as long as they're good enough.

DDG basically acts as a vpn proxy. Bing sees all the traffic as from DDG the same, they can't differentiate the individual requesters. Assuming DDG does what it says it does anyway.
