How to make DuckDuckGo the default search engine Firefox Try searching for something on your browser if you correctly followed the above steps, you should get your search results from DuckDuckGo.
Click on the three vertical dots by the side of your newly added DuckDuckGo search engine and select Make Default. So, if you find search result ads to be annoying, you can go ahead and turn it off. You also have the option to turn off adverts totally, I don’t know if it’s wise for the company to do this considering the fact that they actually need the proceeds obtained via advertising to keep the site running, but yeah, they’ve been doing it for years now and still haven’t shutdown, which means they are cool with it. In DuckDuckGo, options are made available for choosing fonts settings, colour scheme, and even getting to decide if you want the URL to appear above or below the snippet. It has an option for infinite scroll, which means that you can keep accessing your search results vertically without having to go from page 1 to page 2 and so on, as seen with Google. Great User ExperienceĭuckDuckGo has some features that may be manipulated to obtain the desired user experience. It gives users the ability to search on specific third-party websites, using the site’s own search engine if applicable. Bang commandsĭuckDuckGo makes use of Bang commands which are shortcuts that will take you to search results available on other websites. It goes without saying that the number of ads displayed on the search result pages of DuckDuckGo is far less compared to that of other search engines out there so, if you’re easily pissed off by ads, a few of them might make a little difference.
