duckduckgo-onion-html-search

A browser web extension that adds DuckDuckGo's onion site as a search engine. This can be useful when users have disabled JavaScript with NoScript, for example. Prevents a needless redirect from the default script-enabled search URL and uses POST requests instead of GET requests for added privacy and security.

Installation

Tor Browser (Desktop)

From release:

Install the extension from the Firefox Add-ons page

From source:

• Add the contents of web-extension to a ZIP file
• Go to about:addons
• Click the settings icon
• Click Install Add-on from File...
• Select the ZIP file

Tor Browser (Android)

As search providers are currently unsupported in Firefox for Android and its derivatives, this extension cannot be installed. However, it's possible to manually add the search engine, but it'll need to use GET instead of POST requests.

• In Tor Browser, go to Settings > Search > Default search engine

• Tap Add search engine

• In the Name text field, type DuckDuckGo HTML (.onion), or whatever you prefer to call this search engine

• In the Search string URL text field, copy and paste the following:

  https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion/html?q=%s

• Tap Save

• Optionally, you can also make this search engine the default
