Google is tracking you even when you use DuckDuckGo

I use duck duck go mainly, but more and more I'm using yandex. I heard about kagi, the privacy-focused but paid alternative, and what it really comes down to is how much do you want to trust others with your data?
This article made no mention of browser extensions like ublock or privacy badger, the latter being a track-blocker exclusively.
Why not use SearXNG? Hop on a public instance and then not only can they not track you, but nobody can tell who searched for what since the instances don’t keep logs. Best part is, you can still search with any engine you desire while using SearXNG.

I had issues with it in the past, where certain search engines would go down, so often that it was more of a hassle that just using duckduckgo. I remember bing and duckduckgo being engines with the most uptime for me, so I didn't see the point in using it at the time. Which instances work well for you?

I use a selfhosted instance myself. I can send you the link to it, but I obviously don't make any guarantees on reliability.
