tho a very handy Extention but I encountered a problem with the DuckDuckGoogle extension recently where it prevented DuckDuckGo from displaying any search results in Firefox. After disabling the extension, DuckDuckGo worked normally again. It seems that the extension is interfering with DuckDuckGo’s search functionality. It would be great if this could be fixed so that users can switch seamlessly between DuckDuckGo and Google without any issues.

Excellent and simple! Unfortunately it seems to break my searches sometimes when using DuckDuckGo (no results at all) Still, thank you for your work!
