From what I understand from that article and using brave for a long time, is that brave just allowed ddg as a search engine as it uses any number of search engines which you can set as a default. Even Google can still be used.
I don't think ddg has any means of getting data from brave or has any influence in braves business, but that's not to say brave is super safe and the best.
With a combination of brave browser and any search engine (qwant, yandex,searx, brave search etc) it is a lot better than using Google and chrome or Firefox etc
Users who choose the benefits of DuckDuckGo and Brave not only enjoy the benefit of a private browsing experience, they’re also active participants in a larger movement toward a free and open web that doesn’t come at the cost of user privacy. The private search and domain verification are only the beginning of a long term partnership for better privacy. DuckDuckGo and Brave intend to collaborate on co-branded privacy awareness initiatives and experimental pilots.
What more do you want?
DuckDuckGo.com is already a Brave Verified Publisher
The point is not about privacy, but about censorship.
Are you trying to tell me that there is no cause for skepticism or concern?
