Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Mentioning the reason for why DDG-onion on `about:tor` at first before
 doing anything else is a good idea:

 > This is feasible since only a very few percentage of Tor Browser users
 make initial searches on `about:tor`, thus, its load and performance drop-
 down should be minimal if this gets implemented.
