eww browser is hanging at contacting duckduckgo

Emacs Asked by cryptograthor on November 25, 2021

I’m trying out eww. I followed the instructions on this page, and there seems to be no mention of what might be going on. I’m not getting an error message. I’ve run eww RET <somekeyword>
With a few different keywords, and I always see at the top: [untitled]: https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=thing, and at the bottom, contacting host: duckduckgo.com:443. I’ve waited for over two minutes, and my internet connection is fine.

What might be going wrong?

The default search engine in emacs-w3m has now been update to duckduck/lite because of this problem. Either update your emacs-w3m package or try searching by using the explicitly URL https://duckduckgo.com/lite.
