DDG privacy concerns

Why does it have to take users screaming to get stuff like this fixed ESP when a service say " Tired of being tracked online? We can help."

Startpage.com may be a better private SE

They do not see full URL, because they cannot. With TLS all message is encrypted and only SNI is sent as a plaintext. So they will see only domain you are visiting, but nothing more.

From what I see it is already available via configuration option “Preferences > Tabs > Show icons in tabs” (or something like that as I have my OS in Polish so this is my rough translation).

I don’t know what it means for their service, but I think they were sold to an ad company.
