Maybe I'm stupid but I did not get a whole lot out of either video.

From the first video I learned that despite DDG's no-tracking claim that they install two cookies which may in fact be tracking out searches and usage.

Via the second video, I heard that the two alternatives might be qwant.com and startpage.com. I have switched back to startpage.com that I was on before started using DDG.

The yippy.com url does nothing but take me to DDG. I even typed in search box, yippy search engine and see the link "yippy.com", but when I press it, it takes me to DDG. I even uninstalled DDG Privacy Essentials and reset home page to yippy.com. Still same issue.

Are you able to get to yippy.com?
