DuckDuckGo compatibility

[iorate]

Added initial support for DuckDuckGo (v3.5.0).

[vphantom]

The matches regex seems to be too restrictive. My DuckDuckGo URLs are usually just https://duckduckgo.com/ (no search?). Maybe that's it?

[iorate]

Re-opened. I'm not so willing to add support for other engines by myself, but pull requests are welcome.

DuckDuckGo seems to accept both HTTP and HTTPS, and both GET and POST.

So matches should match more URLs, for example (not tested),

matches: [
  '*://duckduckgo.com/?*',  // GET
  '*://duckduckgo.com//',   // POST
],

[iorate]

Yes it's v3.5.0. Support for other search engines is dynamically injected, and so doesn't appear in the manifest file.

@vphantom Aren't the "block this site" links shown on DDG with the "Hide the 'block this site' links" option off? If not, would you please open an issue and tell me your environment (OS, browser, DDG settings, and other extensions working on DDG)?

Known restrictions for DDG:

• Does not work for search types other than 'All' ('Images', 'News' and 'Videos').
• Does not work on Firefox if the HTTP method is set to 'POST'. (I just found this and will fix it later)

[iorate]

I don't use DuckDuckgo, so honestly I have no motivation to add DuckDuckGo support and maintain it.
Thank you for your comment.

If you closed the issue instead of tagging it as "won't implement, but contributions welcome", does this mean you wouldn't be interested in a pull request?

I haven't worked in TypeScript before, but I might be tempted to give it a try based on the example you set with StartPage.

I've tried to add duckduckgo, but solution doesn't work and I can't figure out why.

[vphantom]

Out of curiosity, are you sure it's v3.5.0? I don't see "duckduckgo" in the manifest file.

[vphantom]

Ah ha! I had to re-enable StartPage and also enable DDG in uBlacklist's options after the update. I see now. :) Blocking seems to work well. No injection of "add" links in my layout, but I can live with that tradeoff.

Thank you very much for your efforts!
