Sorry! Took it for granted. When you are at <lite.duckduckgo.com/lite> right click in the adress field and at the bottom of the drop down menu it will say <add duckduckgo (lite)> click that one and in the settings you can now change default search engine.
No need to, it’s a bit weird. For Firefox there seem to be two ways, one is via custom search engine and the other would be via add-on.
I am not entirely sure how to do it via custom search engine, as FF seems to want it with a wildcard %s for the search term and lite ddg doesn’t seem to put it into the URL, but probably somewhere else.
Edit: I found out how to configure it. To get to this screen
(it burns, it hurts our eyeeees)
Huh. That is indeed interesting. Have you figured out how to use this version as browser default?
You add it…and in settings you chose duckduckgo lite
What does “adding” it mean? Talk to me like I’m stupid.
Edit: never mind.

Other kind internet strangers have already helped me but thank you :)
Which browser are you using?
Firefox. I feel a bit stupid right now because I can’t figure this out.
