just want to use duckduckgo as the default browser. What addon do I use to install and please give me any others tasks that will be needed. don't want to use google anymore - is this the only thing I need to do? once done, will the google name still show even though using DDG - how do I know DDG is being used?

Thanks.

duckduckgo is a search engine. Firefox is a web browser.

Where are you searching from - Location Bar, about:home homepage, or the Search Bar?

You can also set the DuckDuckGo page as the home page.
