It is supposed to be private, but what really means private ?

Like most they will hand your ass on a silver platter to LE without a second thought if push comes to shove.

If you are outside of Russia I don't really think Yandex being russian is of any concern.

Arguably it is even better because they wont cooperate with EU or USA authorities in no capacity.

private means hiding ur info from advertisers, obviously duckduck will snitch if theres a subpoena but thats not the point

Advertisers ?

Compartmentalize usage, don't use your ISP DNS, setup encrypted DNS, use Libewolf with uBlock origin, optionally setup PiHole,

don't stay logged in any social networks when you are not using them and you should be actually better.
