The default engine was Google for a while until Mike Perry and I changed it. We chose StartPage over DDG because while both being privacy aware, start page had more relevant search results. However these days I personally find that DDG's results are often more relevant than start page. They also have a page that does not require cookies or JS at https://duckduckgo.com/html/
