Sadly DDG can no longer be trusted for being shady.
A better option would have been to let the community decide. You could have easily posted something to the effect of "One of the search engines wants us to sign an NDA and force us to allow more tracking than we are comfortable with"
Then let the community decide if we wanted a branded browser that is less secure or even if enough folks didn't care that you could still justify dev cycles on the browser.
