Why duckduckgo randomly tries to run script on searched pages ? Picture related.
I have seen this happen before but inconsistently. The picture is from "keyword site: sitename", but it doesn't do that for all the time. What is this script and what does it do ?

Ahh, thanks. You are right, I'm dumb enough to not realize it. DDG runs scripts on non-encrypted site, there's no ssl, I just checked with few other site. DDG only injects it's crap on non-ssl site.
But why? Anyone here smart enough to know what it does ?

You can turn that off.
But then every other site will be able to read your search terms.

If you are saying it's the Redirect option: "Prevent sharing of your search with sites you click on", I never had that on.

Then you're either stupid or a liar or both and either way this is bait.
