Was very excited about this but turns out I can only use DuckDuckGo app, not DuckDuckGo in Firefox. I’m afraid this feature won’t really be usable for me since I rely on FF add-ons and synchronization.

    Ah sorry, have never owned a pixel. So the search bar is not just a widget that you can remove or replace with different widget?

      Yup, it’s part of the home screen and can’t be disabled or replaced. Until today it could only search Google so it’s a big step in the right direction anyway.

        Well it used to be able to launch the assistant but they removed the only useful function it had.

      That’s one of the annoying parts of the stock OS (unless you can ignore the search bar), it’s an unremovable part of the default Pixel launcher. To get rid of it you’d have to install a 3rd-party launcher, or just install GrapheneOS 👀
