 Replying to [comment:10 cypherpunks]:
 > Oh right I only understood the issue now, it's not about providing
 search suggestions but it would go to the DuckDuckGo search engine
 directly. Nice catch! (BTW it happened for me sometimes when selecting
 some links and taking them to a new tab, a DDG search would happen despite
 the URL having `https://`)
 Great thanks for the confirmation that your were also able to reproduce
 the bug.
