Is there a way to make DDG Lite chrome's default search engine?
Chrome seems to let me create non-default search engines, set the full DDG as the default, but not set lite as the default.

The problem is that the search query does not go in the URL in the Lite version. That really sucks. It makes it useless in the browser history as well. In fact, because all the URLs are the same on each query, they're not even added as separate entries in the history.
They don't?
Search term(s) are the URL parameter:
Which does show in my history AFAICT.
On the regular version, not the lite. Here's my URL after searching for "asdf":
https://duckduckgo.com/lite/
In the search form, it uses POST instead of GET to perform the searches.

For desktop, I believe so. Not for Android.
I've fully ditched Chrome desktop for Firefox, however.
Other than the landing page for search itself, the distinction doesn't much matter. If you set web search as a homepage or bookmark, you can definitely do it there, however.
