Radlib PMC: Use Ecosia! You will help end climate crisis too!
Principled Marxist-Leninist-DuckDuckGoist: Using Ecosia to escape corporations' control of the web is no better than using Bing.

No, it's its own thing ("Duck Duck Go, Inc" I think)
I think this is where the confusion started.
"DuckDuckGo (also abbreviated as DDG) is an internet search engine that emphasizes protecting searchers' privacy and avoiding the filter bubble of personalized search results. DuckDuckGo does not show search results from content farms. It uses various APIs of other websites to show quick results to queries and for traditional links it uses the help of its partners (mainly Bing) and its own crawler."
The tl;dr being that it's not owned by Microsoft
