I've been using Duck Duck Go for a long time, and ANY search engine (or website for that matter) that helps protect my identity is a necessity on my list. Fortunately, I haven't had any of the problems using Duck Duck Go that a few people reported (but noticed you corrected in connection with the websites involved). I must say that I disagree with the person who said blocking advertising trackers and ads destroys media revenues and forces businesses to become even more invasive. Most of us check out at least one--but usually more--websites in search engine results--so we'll definitely see ads on the websites we visit. Also, even before using Duck Duck Go, whenever I searched for something I almost never looked at ads on a "search results page" anyway--I only looked at the results for the information I was searching for. I also think if most businesses behaved in an upright manner by not allowing third party tracking, we wouldn't have to be so afraid of being tracked; but as it is, we do have to be concerned about this. One additional point...most people I know also use additional protection like No Script and/or other similar apps, which also helps protect our identity. So I'll keep using my Duck Duck Go!!
