Free, no-account, no-profile. Bing is the upstream index so privacy is structural not technical — DDG never sees your identity but Bing supplies the results. Bang shortcuts (!w, !so) are uniquely useful.

Why B? — rubric definition
Solid pick. Verified working but with a meaningful caveat (UX rough, smaller market, intermediate trust step, partial coverage). Listed because the trade-off is sometimes worth it. Full rubric + worked example at /methodology; the curator's reasoning for this specific listing is in the audit log.
