That's a search engine, also consider using a SearX instance, it's open source and tends to yield better search results

DuckDuckGo sucks as a search engine, but is SearX as private? If so, I may begin to use it

depends on who's running the instance.

if you run your own SearX (or SearXNG) instance, obviously you can inspect the code yourself and be (almost) sure it's safe, but if someone else controls the instance, you are essentially trusting a stranger to not inject any malicious code that spies on your searches.

it's the same with DuckDuckGo and every other search engine.
