    The results are still tailored to you on Google, based on past usage and tracking history. They aren’t with a bang.

      This is incorrect.

      DDG just just performs a simple redirect to Google with the query, where the latter has access to cookies, past usage (especially if one is logged in to Google), etc.

          Yes. The !bangs in DDG are for convenience and not for privacy. The convenience of not opening the intended website, and typing/pasting the query to perform the search.
