Hi!
Recently I’ve started using DuckDuckGo browser and it is really good on my opinion (used hardened Firefox before).
I have a question to the community: is there possibility to change default search engine?
I understand that DuckDuckGo wants to use only their engine but it would be much more convenient to have ability to change it…
Thanks!
Setting the default search would be very good! I usually keep a tab open with my preferred engine and right click on the result I want to visit so they open in a new tab, and I keep my search tab. Not the most convenient but probably no more work than typing a bang each time?
had to downgrade from newest DDG browser version because it was a complete fail on Mac sonoma 14.5. lost passwords, bookmarks, settings etc. NOTHING loaded. it did zero. a total mess.
and still: aug 2024 and ddg browser Version 1.96.0 (221) loads pages SLOWER THAN EVER BEFORE. what a mess.
I wish I could change the default search engine as well. I use the DDG browser, but recently my workplace has blacklisted DDG. So if I try to search something in my browser now I can an ‘Access Denied’ message. So if I could change the default search engine to something else that would work for now.
What exactly would be “convenient”?
I mean that DuckDuckGo is not so good search engine for some things, like development. So it would be great to have ability to change search engine and search of something will be initiated in address bar…
Does using “bangs” work for you? ref
i use chat gpt for any development questions, it shits all over anything else and can write entire scripts from scratch as long as you know what you want and how to fomulate a well thought out question, i was using gpt 3.5 and 4 is miles better and almost never wrong, i got 25 scripts and one is over 450 lines and im using object pooling and unity best practices, my game looks amazing and runs at 800 or so fps in any res *drops mic*
