Interesting. I see *way* more widgets than @howorth is seeing, even
without looking downward.
Across the top, I see the corporate logo, a long entry field for the
search text, a button for chat (with a speech balloon icon next to it),
and a hamburger menu button.
Below that, there's some text in a large font, then a very large button
offering me the opportunity to make DDG my default search engine.
At the bottom of the page are the words "Learn more", and a round button
with a downward-pointing arrow inside it.
If @howorth is running some kind of ad blocker or client-side content
filter that's altering the contents of the page, it must be a *really*
aggressive one.
P.S. looking at the HTML source with Ctrl-U, it's all one line. Seriously,
who does that?

44 kilobytes of HTML/CSS/Javascript, all in one. stupid. line. Well,
they found a way to make me stop trying to read their page source,
that's for damned sure.
