In reply to ZinaM's post on February 11, 2020. FYI - I downloaded DuckDuckGo as an App to my task bar, then I also went to the "Settings>On Startup>Open a specific page or pages>Add a new page" and typed in the DDG url. Then I restarted my PC and clicked on the DDG icon in my task bar, and it opened up directly to the DDG search engine.
