There is a lot of disinformation that floats around places like voat and gab, one piece of disinformation is with regard to DDG being some kind of CIA OP or that they really do at the very least track you secretly. There's no evidence of any such thing. They'll point to people involved in the project that are Jews or have worked for Jews or something similar. Unfortunately there are enough people that believe whatever they read online that now it's hard to tell who's trying to hurt DDG and who just fell for their garbage.
To me it suggests DDG is a fantastic alternative. I like them, I use their dark theme, and if I ever delete my cookies I need to setup all of my config options again on it. Which doesn't mean they don't track me but it does mean that if they do track me they do a good job of hiding it.
