 When "Safest" setting is enabled, searching using duckduckgo should always
 use the Non-Javascript site for searches. Right now when you enable
 "Safest" mode in TorBrowser you will see the error "You are being
 redirected to a non javascript site" when you search for anything in the
 search box in the upper right of the browser.

 TorBrowser should change the Duckduckgo search from

 {{{https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=example}}}
 To
 {{{https://duckduckgo.com/?q=example}}}
 When "Safest" mode is enabled.

 I attached a photo showing the error "You are being redirected to a non
 javascript site"

 Tested on TorBrowser 7.5.4 and TorBrowser 8dev
