Didn't watch it, but there's some scribbled notes on their pad, with some alternatives mentioned: board.net/p/hackingsearch
Talks all week, and interesting ones still coming up. It is livestreamed and you can ask questions via Matrix.

People need to read beyond the headlines and from reliable sources.
This issue has nothing to do with DuckDuckGo search. If you're just using the DDG search engine then you're completely unaffected.
It is an issue with the DDG browser, where it doesn't block Microsoft's trackers on third-party websites.
We need to be better than this.
