Comment (by rena):

 I think so, is more desirable switch direct to duckduckgo, because:
 1. Disconnect.me redirect you to https://duckduckgo.com/, not to
 http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/.

 2. If you are using tor in medium-high or high setting you are not using
 javascript for DDG by default.
 Well, the disconnect redirect you to a version of site that requite JS,
 and you need to click to swith to non-JS version of DDG, but if you are
 using DDG it automatic detecte non-js contest.
