Do you think DuckDuckGo is a good choice for people who are concerned about their privacy?

I use it as my default phone browser. I like it just because it doesn't have any history at all unless you whitelist a site (they call it fireproofing). Not that I don't want anyone to see what I've looked at on the internet, but because I don't care what I've already seen.
The other browsers, and especially searches, all pop up your most recent searches. They keep a history of it. Even fucking wikipedia does it. It's annoying. DDG is just simply there, and that's a great experience for me when I browse.
All the privacy stuff went out the window years ago. I'm not concerned with all that.
