Just ‘cause’, I went to settings (which were being ignored) and used the
‘Clear browsing data’ button (killed everything).
Now the settings work. what the …?
I guess that’s a solution?!? So where if not in .local or .config does the data persist?
EDIT, ok, I’m wrong. The setting for start page (ddg) now works, but searches STILL get sent to google.
Oh, dear.
