Lol, saying you are "beginning a process designed to delete your data" is a very different thing to actually deleting your data.

Your original post makes it sound like duckduckgo is making you do this. It really isn't. You have to truly opt in to use it. They do ask you, how often do you want to see it, and you can set a preference.

I think they are in a tough spot because users are going to say if they don't have it, they are behind and a bad search engine for it. Yet if they offer it, people are going to complain about that.

I think they are trying hard for a middle ground.
