Problem type: Something else
Description: When I do a search on dudkduckgo now, it prioritises advertizing sites. the search info thrown up is unrelated to the search info requested.
Steps to Reproduce:
When i search for something on Duckduckgo, the search results seem to be advertizing sites that are unrelated to thw specific search parameters. The search function on Duckduckgo is just showing advert sites in response to a search. I can't block the advertizing sites because Duckduckgo only allows you to black 5 sites.

    @b-farkas

    We appreciate your report but based on your description the issue reproduces on other browsers as well, therefore it is not a compatibility issue. When searching on the site, the same result are displayed in Chrome and Firefox browsers as well.

    For this project we try to focus our efforts on layouts and content that works as expected on a browser but not on the other. Closing this as non-compat.
