Enter "guix" in your search/address bar while having DDG as default search engine. 2. Click on first result -> guix.gnu.org 3. Now click after landing at our beautiful website on the browsers back button (<-) 4. You end up at https://duckduckgo.com/?ia=web and not at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=guix This does NOT happen when you 1. use DuckDuckGo in Chromium via it's address bar 2. use DDG in Icecat starting from duckduckgo.com and not the address/search bar 3. use Bing or Google via Icecat's address/search bar I have disabled the "Spoof Referers" setting which comes from Icecat and is available at about:preferences#privacy Icecat has some custom DDG search plugin: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/tree/makeicecat#n172 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/tree/data/searchplugins/duckduckgo.xml Maybe that's breaking that.

I don't know. This was already reported upstream here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2020-02/msg00000.html. Another user reported the same behavior wwhen using Tor browser. It seems to be an issue with DDG itself, where their HTML only website breaks when Javascript support is detected. You can verify this by re-enabling LibreJS in Icecat; it'll suddenly start working again. Maxim ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Okay, go back does work on https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q= when enabling LibreJS. But their search doesn't break in Chromium or in upstream Firefox. So I guess something is wrong with our Icecat/shipped search addon. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
