YSK: there's a lite version of DuckDuckGo - sh.itjust.works

And it should work with practically any browser in existence. It’s also one of the few websites still using HTML 4.01.

(it burns, it hurts our eyeeees)

Huh. That is indeed interesting. Have you figured out how to use this version as browser default?

Which browser are you using?
Firefox. I feel a bit stupid right now because I can’t figure this out.

No need to, it’s a bit weird. For Firefox there seem to be two ways, one is via custom search engine and the other would be via add-on.

I am not entirely sure how to do it via custom search engine, as FF seems to want it with a wildcard %s for the search term and lite ddg doesn’t seem to put it into the URL, but probably somewhere else.

Ahh, the wildcard was what stumped me. Thank you, works like a charm!
Yeah, it working with post confused me as well. But a quick inspection worked wonders, haha
