Also, LibreJS complains about some issues in the home page of DuckDuckGo. I  
think I'll email them as suggested by LibreJS :)

Just disable JavaScript. DDG doesn't require any of the JavaScript it serves;  
it's all unnecessary decorative functionality. This is also generally the  
case for most other websites.

Yes, no problems when Javascript is disabled. However IceCat uses Javascript  
version of DDG via its search toolbar by default. DDG says that it's a  
privacy-oriented search engine but if user uses it with Javascript and  
without ad/script blockers so whether is concern about user privacy in this  
case?

You can add the "HTML" version easily. When you do a search, you know how it  
makes you follow a link? Click on that, and from there, you should be able to  
add the search method that doesn't have that extra click.

I just visit addons.mozilla.org and add "duckduckgo HTML" as a search engine.

Searx.me is better in my humble opinion.

also, it is free software completely.

searx is da best.

I didn't like it unfortunately.

Re: [Trisquel-users] DuckDuckGo and yahoo.net

[calmstorm]

Okay, but is there a reason for that? Just curious...

Re: [Trisquel-users] DuckDuckGo and yahoo.net

i find it slow and clunky and that it is hard to get good results. you can  
set duckduckgo but the results are still bad.

Is it slow and clunky? the only thing I don't like is when you type in search  
bar for searx it takes two tries for it to go through sometimes.


Other than that though it seems like a good search engine.

Although, maybe as time passes it will get better. 10.0 version of searx is  
out.


maybe the more versions that come out the better it will get.

Duckduckgo gives out your operating system on their headers though just so  
you know.


which I am sure is a minor issue but I prefer to go as close to perfect with  
security as possible.
