True, though this is a little out of date, DDG has built much of their own cache now. Bing is still their failover, but they've gotten a lot more independent. That said, I don't generally care for it's derivative-of-bing results, and has had some privacy oopsies lately that steer me away.
The way MS is moving, I really don’t want to keep using DDG if they are integral. I couldn’t really find much on the deal they made but DDG has done things for them that make me uneasy.
Why isn't it?
It uses Bing and Yahoo. All it does is anonymize the query before it’s sent to them.
Bing is a search engine. Yahoo is a search engine. Google Search is a search engine. DDG is just a broker in all this.
