And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

    DuckDuckGo results still suck and are not even remotely comparable to Google‘s. The best alternative imo is Qwant, which uses bing and I think also it’s own index.

      If the DuckDuckGo result for your search doesn’t yield anything then just append it with g! and it’ll take you straight to the Google results.

      It’s a useful trick but very rarely do I find I need it. Only really when researching a very specific error.

        I only wish I could default DDG to not show results from certain sites I simply don’t care about. Maybe it’s possible and I just haven’t found how to do it, but that’s the one thing that would really elevate my experience
