Gotcha.

> ...generally in very old browsers that need to use our non-JavaScript site (http://duckduckgo.com/html).

I use duckduckgo.com/html & duckduckgo.com/lite on all my (up-to-date) browsers (Firefox Mobile for Android / Chrome for Debian as two examples); they are "not very old" at all, and I still get ddg-proxied hrefs.

A feature request (if I may): Old browser or not, if the dnt header is set, I'd ideally want ddg to not proxy/redirect anything at all on my behalf.



The redirect can be disabled in our settings.

Go to https://duckduckgo.com/settings#privacy and disable the bottom setting, "Redirect (When Necessary)"


Set it. 12 hours on and still getting redirected via ddg servers. The Settings page shows correct preferences.

I'm not on an older browser.

I'm not using private tabs / incognito.

I haven't cleared cookies.
