Why isn't DuckDuckDuck go privacy browser supported?
Have the 1Password folks re-evaluated their position on DuckDuckGo? This privacy browser has a lot to offer and continually makes improvements. One of the features is blocking tracking attempts. ...

Thanks for reaching out. Can you clarify what you mean by the following:
Have the 1Password folks re-evaluated their position on DuckDuckGo
Are you referring to making the 1Password extension available for the DuckDuckGo browser? If you are then, the last time that I checked, the DuckDuckGo browser didn't support third-party extensions. Has that changed recently? I've just downloaded DuckDuckGo for Windows and I don't see an option to install extensions.
Attempting to sign in to 1Password from DuckDuckGo displayed this message
I've reproduced the issue myself. It looks like DuckDuckGo for Windows is using Microsoft Edge WebView2 technology to render web pages which is likely why it's showing up as a Microsoft Edge browser when you sign into 1Password.com since I believe that Microsoft Edge uses the same browser rendering technology. The user-agent for both DuckDuckGo and Microsoft Edge also looks very similar. I'm not sure if there's a way for us to tell that you're using DuckDuckGo and not Microsoft Edge when you sign into 1Password.com but I'll flag this to our team to look into further.
