Hey.
We will work on it together with the community this year.
Private mode is even more private than DDG so we will likely have to do private ads just like them.
But for the personalized experience we have a few ideas that I think are more creative and more aligned with users and privacy but not fully fleshed out yet.
We're still a very small team but hoping to ship them this quarter.
It's not. When OP first launched his search engine a few months ago, it was pointed out to him multiple times that DDG doesn't seem to communicate with third-parties, but You does even when in private mode. OP avoided that question - and a few others - then and, it appears he's still avoiding it now (he hasn't responded to you in 2 days).
