yuuunikkiThe "essential" firefox addons/scripts/ublock filters etc?
- useragent switcher
- custom search engine adders are good if you use multiple search engines
Interstellar_1Doesn’t Firefox have the second one built in?
i couldnt figure out how to. i know you can right click the url of a website to add as a search engine, but this only works if the website supports it, and many dont. you can also import/export search engines from a file
You can go into settings and select the search engine you want, you can also remove the ones you don’t want.
i get that, but i dont think you can add new ones in settings. and the settings files are cryptic to me
I’m not sure which build of firefox the other user is using, but in the stable stock build I can’t add it in settings page itself either.
But if you go to a website that can do search, eg. Startpage, then right click on the browser’s url bar again, a new option to add the search engine pops up at the end of the context menu.
Another alternative is installing addons that adds the search engine too, I believe duckduckgo & Startpage has theirs.
Here’s firefox’s docs about it - it’s got screenshots of how it looks.
yep thanks :) not all sites support adding as a search engine
Try using the Mycroft Project that the page mentioned, it’s got user maintained search engine plugins.
