Unless you have some internet or DNS issues making your previous search engine slow (google?), Duck duck go has no ability to speed up the websites you visit after you click on the link from the search engine. The two are not related.

Firefox is no longer an option for me when Mozilla refuses to see the irony of what they post, compared to their alleged values. These images are diametrically opposed......and from the same source.

The most disturbing part of this

"Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation."

I wholly and fully understand that there's been a lot of really bad info across the spectrum being put online. But holy cow this is scary.
