Was very excited about this but turns out I can only use DuckDuckGo app, not DuckDuckGo in Firefox. I’m afraid this feature won’t really be usable for me since I rely on FF add-ons and synchronization.
I can (and do) use DDG in FF but if I chose DDG as a search provider for the launcher searchbar it opens the app.
What if you uninstall the ddg app? Its just chromium under the hood anyway
I had a similar issue where everything would open on chrome. I just uninstalled chrome and now it opens everything on Firefox. Pixel might do things differently though
This is specifically about the search bar in the Pixel launcher. It’s just how they implemented the feature - it requires the app.
Ah sorry, have never owned a pixel. So the search bar is not just a widget that you can remove or replace with different widget?
FYI, you can have a shortcut to a new tab in Firefox that pulls up the search bar. And I saw that you use Niagara, so I’ll tell you what I do (with Niagara on Pixel):
I have a swipe up gesture set on the Niagara button to open a new tab in Firefox. It pulls up a new tab, and I can immediately search from there. And you can change the search provider within Firefox to whatever you want. It’s typically faster than any search from the Google app or the assistant.
