Works great!
I paired this with this script someone wrote to fully integrate firefox+duckduckgo with the latest version windows 10.

Works great!

only search engine I trust and use it on all of my devices

Works fine if I type in search request, but not if I do a verbal request. And I can not find a way to contact creator.

Works quickly, but doesn't redirect to DDG if firefox isn't open.

Pretty much the first thing I do when setting up a new windows machine is install edge deflector and bing to DDG.
One problem though is if you're shopping with DDG. Any shopping links get diverted to a blank DDG homepage.

Does exactly what it says, thank you.
