Buying info to advertise privacy has more than a little irony but I'd like to think the DDG people are earnestly trying to improve the state of things. I mean, the browser isn't Sriracha, it's going to need to be advertised a bit. What other android browsers are cross platform, block ads, and have email proxies built in with autofill? My 70 year old mom has largely stopped using chrome for ddg, and sees way way less ads. She couldn't be paid to use firefox. Where do the other browsers stack up relatively?
Brave - auto-generated "donation" pages the donee had no idea existed, collected for them without informing the donors.
Chrome - tries to drag everything along with it, changing the landscape for developers and content creators in sometimes a decidedly self-interested way.
Firefox - uses the browser as a bait and switch to fund the other adventures, arguably with too few engineers and too much income disparity.
Like the sibling comment said though, there are alternatives for the email proxy. DDG's is convenient.
