Is Canonical tracking me through the DuckDuckGo search engine?
#18

I followed the recommendation in the link posted by UNLIMITY (thanks!) and deleted the relevant entry in
/usr/lib/firefox/distribution/searchplugins/locale/<language>/duckduckgo.xml

After restarting the browser the "&t=canonical" part in the address is gone Smile

Questions remain:
* At what stage and how is duckduckgo.xml getting this entry?
* Why are you not running into the same need to edit duckduckgo.xml?

How? DuckDuckGo is in partnership with Canonical or something.
(I don't understand the second question)
But if your DuckDuckGo search engine will get updated, the canonical entry will get back, MAYBE.
