Duckduckgo dot come page error on Brave privacy shield..

[polonus]

To-day Duckduckgo would not perform actual search, but tried to take me to the WayBackMachine.
Apparently something did not tick with Brave Privacy Shield settings, disabled and re-enabled and everything fine again.

All other search engines worked fine like Qwant, common Google etc.

Is it DuckDuckGo is performing DDG data experiments, that produced this hick-up?
