Was very excited about this but turns out I can only use DuckDuckGo app, not DuckDuckGo in Firefox. I'm afraid this feature won't really be usable for me since I rely on FF add-ons and synchronization.

How come you can't use DDG on Firefox? Is this a limitation on pixels? Seems to work fine on android in general. I even have uBlock origin on Firefox on my phone!

I can (and do) use DDG in FF but if I chose DDG as a search provider for the launcher searchbar it opens the app.

What if you uninstall the ddg app? Its just chromium under the hood anyway

[-] sajran@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

Then I can't set it as a search provider. It requires the app.

What about using a different launcher, such as Lawnchair?

Yeah, I'm using Niagara currently. Here are my thoughts about Lawnchair: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10231968
