also i wouldn't install their extension just for that, you can edit your default search engine to anu address you want in the settings

browser extensions are a huge privacy risk and i wouldn't trust ddg with my data because of their Microsoft deal, not to block their trackers (they reverted that part after the backlash) in the ddg browser and to only show msn under their news tab in regular ddg

Google entered heavy enshittification stage and honestly… it’s sad to watch.

google has been in heavy enshittification for going on a decade now.

Honestly you could make the argument that its been on the enshittification slide since they tried to expand out from just being a search engine company.
