doesn't duckduckgo do the same thing at this point with tracker links? it also uses bing

What tracker links?

DuckDuckGo's policy is much less specific but makes it a point that they aren't sending your exact IP address to Microsoft or anybody else for any reason. Among other, IMO even better policies.

we share anonymous browser and device information with our hosting and content providers for security and display purposes (for example, that you’re using a mobile device), but we never share any information with them that could tie your searches or website visits to you personally, or that could allow them to create a history of your individual search queries or the sites you browse.

last we checked they preserved the tracker links bing themselves would use on results, which you had to opt out of.

Can you be more specific?
