And it should work with practically any browser in existence. It’s also one of the few websites still using HTML 4.01.
There’s also a medium version that’s heavier than that but lighter than the default UI https://html.duckduckgo.com/
There’s also FrogFind that’s a wrapper for DDG that’ll let you actually view (some of) those results on some ridiculous hardware.
There’s also the No AI version, that only contains a little AI. https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
I’ve seen AI in Firefox now too. I guess our choices will be a little AI or a lot of AI from now on.
Theres still browsers like waterfox, librewolf, palemoon, ungoogled chromium. For search engines theres SearX(NG), 4get.ca, YaCy, some more obscure ones like qwant or marginalia.search and a dozen other resellers of google and bing that nobody cares about.

Huh. That is indeed interesting. Have you figured out how to use this version as browser default?
Which browser are you using?
Firefox. I feel a bit stupid right now because I can’t figure this out.
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
- you go into your settings,
- got to Search,
- scroll to Search Shortcuts,
- click on Add
- click on Advanced
- write the things I wrote in the screenshot.
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.
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.
Other kind internet strangers have already helped me but thank you :)
