What are the controversies with DuckDuckGo? I’ve never heard of anything.
Their browser is sharing data with MS, since they're using their services instead of Google. They've been upfront about it and explained there is no way around it.
As long as you just use their search engine, you're fine.
In addition to the Microsoft trackers, I referenced this as well in another reply in this topic:

There are plenty of other sources that also reported on this.
