I used DuckDuckGo yesterday specifically because it doesn't redirect you if it detects you are using Internet Explorer. I had an underpowered corporate laptop that's MS Edge session was too bloated, but didn't have the ability to add any extensions that would facilitate managing and saving that session. So when it had a BSOD as I was trying to run a heavy application on it simultaneously, I was determined not to run both MS Edge and this heavy app at the same time. But then, I had to Google something... Internet Explorer to the rescue! Except if you want to access Google, that is. If you go to it, then you'll be redirected to Microsoft, and then they'll automatically launch MS Edge. Now I have to choose between googling my question, running that damn app, and risking loosing my previous session if the laptop has another BSOD before I click on the "Restore" button. Out of curiosity, I tried accessing DuckDuckGo in IE. Not only did it work fine, but there was also no silly redirect.
