without stupid adblockblock https://archive.is/whZuI

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

Sorry, I'm still not seeing it. Firefox says uBO is already updated. image

Here's the direct home link, although it's built into the list on my Waterfox and IronWolf installs.

Thanks.

Waterfox and IronWolf installs

Maybe that's why. I use Zen. Perhaps Waterfox and IronWolf already have uBO installed by default and added that AI block list?
