Add DuckDuckGo

Pekka Ristolarequested to merge
pekkarr/rules:add-duckduckgo-rule into master

Prerequisites

  • Are you sure that this rule only prevents tracking?
  • Are you sure that this rule does not destroy the function of the page?

Description

Redirection links appear in search results in DuckDuckGo's non-javascript site when the search query is passed as a URL parameter (example). Note that if the search query is typed to the search field on the webpage (instead of the URL parameter) the redirection links won't appear. Also redirection is not used on the usual DuckDuckGo search if javascript is enabled in the web browser.

Affected fields

  1. uddg is the redirection target

Example URL

  1. https://duckduckgo.com/l/?uddg=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wikipedia.org%2F&rut=f570901523391fd4f00823cf2ca42cc677d81bf78d7724d9b6620e1febff0198
