There is also a (related, I assume) PR to remove the search syntax page from being published entirely[1]. It's dated December, so it may be fair to assume this has all just been documentation-publishing that hasn't been done yet, as others have posited.

When I tried just now again on a different machine, it no longer seems to work. I also found this commit on the help page which I think is where references to the other operators were removed and it's dated for march 3rd, so I think it might be that either the search site was cached somehow or it was not yet updated, which could explain why there was inconsistent behavior between users.

That's a bit of a stretch. One instance of a tracker being enabled contractually, and has been openly communicated on their website since February 2020. That's hardly their "business" now. The fact people choose not to read the information available to them and then complain when they find out later isn't DDG's problem.

I'm assuming they're talking about https://duckduckgo.com/app, which DDG does call the DDG Browser themselves, since that was involved in a 'scandal' re. trackers

I’d also recommend considering choosing a good internet browser, as you stated “ i just dont feel comfortable if companies and people can see everything ive ever searched up”. A browser that either blocks ads and trackers or at least doesn’t contain its own trackers, is a great start. I would recommend using either Firefox, Brave, or DuckDuckGo. You also should use some sort of additional tracker blocker, such as uBlock Origin.

DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser (version 5.158.2): Privacy, simplified

Since DuckDuckGo has grown from a privacy-focused search engine to the all-in-one privacy solution that we offer today, we needed to expand our Privacy Policy to cover our new browsers and features like Email Protection, App Tracking Protection, and more. Check it out here. Privacy and transparency are foundational to our business and community so even though this expanded Privacy Policy doesn’t reduce any privacy protection, we wanted to make sure our Reddit community knows about it.

Es gibt auch den DuckDuckGo Browser https://duckduckgo.com/app

Have a look at duckduckgo.com, it has a browser for iPhone and Android that is supposed to block all these trackers by design. I've not heard anything bad about it from anyone else yet and information can be found here: https://duckduckgo.com/app

Duck Duck Go for android.. Has app tracking protection, and email protection that strips out the trackers when you open an email. The email works where you pick a duck.com email name, and it forwards to your real email, minus the trackers.
