Give the option to use DuckDuckGo as Browser search engine

I realise the Browser (and all other core apps) remains extremely basic at the moment, but perhaps the very simple option of adding DuckDuckGo (as a default option) or manually could be done.

However, Jolla claim to be for privacy and security, yet the default search engine is Google and the other two are Yahoo & Bing. All 3 collect and collate user data, personal information, search results and share all this information with a multitude of third parties (commercial and governmental). DuckDuckGo do none of that.

Perhaps someone could mod the Browser to offer this option, if Jolla are unsympathetic.
