Hi! I'm Julian, one of the co-founders of NodeBB, the forum software you are using right now. I started this company with two colleagues, Baris and Andrew, in 2013, and have been doing the startup thing since (although I think at some point along the way we stopped being a startup and just became a boring ol' small business). In my free time I rock climb, cycle, and lift weights. I live just outside Toronto, Canada, with my wife and three children.

Wow firefox makes it hard to add custom search engines. If you're using google and want it to default to the quietly launched "web results only no AI shit" view:

Open about:config, set the pref "browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh" to true. You may have to create the pref, or it may exist and be false.

Open about:preferences#search, scroll to bottom, you can now add a search engine (that's what the pref above does)

Add engine for https://www.google.com/q=%s&udm=14, save, make default.

@danderson what about Duck? Should I have qualms about using it?

N.B. I'm lazy as heck and probably won't change my search engine from DDG unless they do something completely egregious.
