And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

If the DuckDuckGo result for your search doesn't yield anything then just append it with g! and it'll take you straight to the Google results.

It's a useful trick but very rarely do I find I need it. Only really when researching a very specific error.
