I believe all DDG browsers are webview based, so they use the already installed platform WebView as the engine and add the browser functionalities on top, that's not really a bad thing, since it saves space by avoiding duplicating such a huge component. Realistically, if they rolled their own, it would 100% be another Chromium fork and the Edge WebView is already based on Chromium so it's kind of (but not totally) pointless
