 Replying to [comment:3 jah]:
 > Performing a DuckDuckGo search from the search bar after setting the Tor
 Browser security slider to "High" results in a search result page which
 states:-
 >
 >     "This page requires JavaScript. Get the non-JS version here"
 >
 > and links to the "html" version of the search page:
 https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=search+term

 This is so annoying. It would be great to get it fixed.

 >
 > The .onion site already uses the html version so bundling Tor Browser
 with a search add-on for the .onion site would be a welcome improvement in
 usability.

 And security and privacy.
