No tablets here, but that would be an option if they want to keep using only online forms… Not a reason to feel bad at all, imo!

That works as the starter page, but can’t be set as the custom search engine… Only the real DDG can be set as that.

Yeah, I’m aware this is the reason. Which fucking sucks because I need to remember turn them back off every single time I happen to need clear cookies… But that’s probably their plan.

It’s not even about disabling it, DDG keeps turning it back on… I live in a constant battle.

I have a Nokia dumb phone as my main phone, as in when leaving the house in case I need to contact family, or get a parcel locker code from text messages and so on. This results interesting moments…
Normal would be when someone “demands” me to scan their QR code so I can follow their project or anything like that, sometimes these would be interesting like when they’re looking for volunteers at a local music festival and so on, but these people get absolutely stuck or even visibly angry, when I say that I can’t and show the Nokia brick. It’s pretty amusing. (And yeah, if they do get angry, I really won’t be bothering to contact then any way later on even if the stuff seemed cool at first.) Of course with scammers, like electricity or phone subscription sellers, this is quite handy. They won’t even bother me.
Then in health care they want me to fill in these sympton or information forms on my mobile device while waiting. I tell them I can’t and show them my Nokia. Boy, they get STUCK. No, there are no paper forms. No, there are no devices to loan out. So they make me wait as normal and then in the appointment I gotta waste time explaining this again and then the doc/nurse asks me the forms’ questions one by one which wastes even more time. I’m pretty sure this would be issue with elder people too, but they have probably paid few million for those fancy online systems so they gotta use them.
Setting this up took some time, but now I think I got this working… Thank you my dude/tte!
