Looks like the search results contain a link to Amazon (result no. 12 for me). DuckDuckGo makes money with affiliate revenue from Amazon: https://duck.co/help/company/advertising-and-affiliates
A different query (e.g., https://duckduckgo.com/?q=GitHub&t=brave&ia=web) does not cause anything to be blocked. So my theory is that any search with results linked to Amazon will have these affiliate tracking scripts.
Description
Brave shield blocks 2 scripts on DDG - "The search engine that doesn't track you." so either the DDG policy has changed or some new function is blocked
Steps to Reproduce
Search for something on DDG e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Brave+download&ia=web
Actual result: https://i.imgur.com/XwmAVr3.png
Expected result: Zero blocked items?
Reproduces how often: 100%
