How to add noai.duckduckgo.com as default search engine to firefox and librewolf

1. In the top right menu, open Settings
2. On the left, select "Search"
3. Scroll down to section "Search Shortcuts" and click "Add"
4. Fill out the form (omit the quotation marks):
- Search engine name: "noai.duckduckgo.com"
- URL with %s in place of search term: "https:// noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s". (IMPORTANT: Remove the space between "//" and "noai", it was added to avoid it being interpreted as link in this post)
- Keyword (optional): "@noai" or whatever you like
7. Click "Add Engine"
8. Scroll up to section "Default Search Engine", and select the new entry "noai.duckduckgo.com" in the dropdown menu.
9. Done, you can close the "Settings" tab.

#weblibre is perhaps the only #browser on #fdroid I know which is closest to #librewolf , runs optional local #ai model to manage tabs and let's you add extensions , from portal or even a file

@WeirdWriter Nah, security-wise, #librewolf defaults are all right. I even relax some of the default settings to make it a tad more usable. Having said that, I do still maintain my own user.js file [https://gist.github.com/cristianrasch/d3026ffbbd685c490c9fe6565b770a56] with overrides that make the browser behave more to my liking. Feel free to "steal" from it as much as you want!

I downloaded #Librewolf but I’m curious, for those using Firefox, do you all still use the custom, better fox, user settings file? Is there a better one I can and should bookmark? Probably the only thing I really don’t care about, and I really should care about it, is cookies. I’m lazy, and I’m the only one using this computer, so don’t want to login all the time to places. I also recently discovered that I love going into About Config more than using the settings screen. #Firefox #Bloat

Yet another reason to continue using #Firefox, #Librewolf, #Zen, etc.

Well. It's been about a week. Look like I'll be sticking with LibreWolf.

The transition has been pretty seamless. It's mostly subjective but the browser seems slightly more responsive when I have a bunch of heavy tabs open.
Even if I change my mind, it's been worth it to go through, clean up, and better document my configs(esp. uBO and userChrome.css).

First time in over a decade+ that Firefox wasn't my default browser.

How to make #librewolf browser usable.

- Stop it from clearing cookies and site data when you close it.
Navigate to Settings, Privacy & Security, Cookies and Site Data. Uncheck the box for Clear cookies and site data every time you close LibreWolf.

- Make it render dark mode if your system is running in dark mode.
1. Open the URL about:config
2. Make these settings.

@ploum @openstreetmap @librewolf #Openstreetmap main site works and displays the map wout problems.

But, the map on the #OSMCha site doesn't show anything since their redesign. I got a grey background just like you described.

So, I was forced to create a separate #Librewolf profile with HTML5 canvas and WebGL enabled by default and with these settings the map on OSMCha is working again.

P.S. Lol, I need a 3D engine to view a 2D map — what a time to be alive

Am I the only one for who @openstreetmap is not working in @librewolf ?

Maps are simply not displayed, I get a grey background, even with all privacy options turned off.

EDIT: OSM was switched to the "tracestrack" layer, which seems to be empty for me. But other layers are now working fine!

Thanks all
