DDG is more private than Google or Bing, which is what really matters for most people. But since it's closed source, there is a degree of risk that it tracks more than it says. It might eventually get purchased or coerced somehow (like their recent contract issues with MS.)

Searx is the best search engine I'm aware of right now provided you can find an instance that works (searx.be is good for me.)

Is it really more private? I don't think we can ever know.

The fact that DDG is neither of Google or Bing should probably be what really matters.
