How far does DDG and other search go to track us?

News say DDG is tracking people via their web browser in a contract with MS.

However, I do not see any mention of their use of redirects that methinks would tell them which websites we are visiting. Here's an example:

https://duckduckgo.com/l/?uddg=https%3A%2F%2Ftrisquel.info%2F&rut=f8b952a2d461008a9785d7952609c8b97197b14922ed6d221009cb351383f274

There are ads too, but that's not what I am talking about. The above link is a search result that redirects to trisquel.info. Based off this they get your IP, that you visited it and no one seems to care? Thankfully though torbrowser works with it. I like startpage too, because it does not seem to be doing this with search results.

Okay, I don't see those links anymore... Someone turned off this anti-feature. Anybody know what was going on. It's been happening for a while on both Torbrowser and Abrowser, but now, it's not there.

For lack of a truly decentralized search engine, I am currently using various public searX instances, based on the info available there:

After all, DuckDuckGo is just a single large entity standing between us and evil.
