This is one of the biggest reasons I don't use DuckDuckGo yet. Seems trivial, but for me it's certainly a barrier to entry. I'd say the second biggest reason is the annoying user interface (gaudy effects like large lime green backgrounds when you roll over search results, etc.)
- hrabago 16y ago> I'd say the second biggest reason is the annoying user interface DuckDuckGo is the first website that made me want to install a browser plugin to change the way the page looks. (As for other websites that had a look I didn't like, I simply stopped visiting them.) The problem with installing plugins, though, is that I use several browsers on several computers, and to get a consistent look, I'd have to customize all of them (if possible).
- aperiodic 16y agoYou can customize a fair amount DuckDuckGo's UI using the settings page[1], most notably hover highlighting, color scheme, and header placement (fixed vs scrolling). [1]: http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html
- hessenwolf 16y agoNot good if you operate on several different computers & browsers.
- aperiodic 16y agoDuckDuckGo does have a very annoying default color scheme. Fortunately you can turn it off in the settings page: http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html.
