@flypig when I try your ESR91 cloudflare version in my FF, it fails to load a "home-34dd...js" file. I can't get DDG itself to serve it to me, wonder if that's what's tripping things up?
Going to DDG directly, that seems to serve a page that loads https://duckduckgo.com/_next/static/chunks/pages/%5Blocale%5D/home-74b6f93f10631d81.js instead.
Playing around with curl (having gotten the arguments from the FF network tab in dev tools), it seems like it's only the user agent that has any effect on what I get from DDG. Very odd.
@amcewen Nice observation. That was a pretty silly url-encoding error on my part and it makes all the difference to the way the page works (or doesn't).
I seem to get some more nuanced interactions with request headers though: the Sec-Fetch-* headers are affecting what I get back as well as the user agent (I've written more about it in today's post). I'd be interested to know if you see this too.
