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 use Vivaldi with their search widget. It's been a game changer for me because I can use my self hosted searxng instance as my default search engine with auto complete from duck duck go. Can also use other search shortcuts to switch to other engines quickly.

I'd consider using the Pixel launcher if I could disable the search bar entirely. I prefer to have the room for icons and widgets.

Yes, that is the only thing making me use a 3rd party launcher.

Being in the UK we miss out on all the benefits of the DMA but the Lawnchair project dropped an update a couple of weeks ago. It lets you change search providers and seems pretty stable and good enough for daily use.

But the gesture support is bad with custom launchers.
