#### Change your default search engine
You can also [select a default search engine](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox#w_default-search-engine) just for [Private Browsing](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-history) windows. (This is an option after you apply the `user.js` and restart.)

(This is an option after you apply the `user.js` and restart.)
* `☰` *→ Settings → Search → Default Search Engine*
Change your default search engine to DuckDuckGo, or add a [premium](https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/why-pay-for-search.html) search engine like [Kagi](https://kagi.com/welcome).
To add a custom search engine like [Brave Search](https://search.brave.com/) or a [premium](https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/why-pay-for-search.html) search engine like [Kagi](https://kagi.com/welcome), you can easily [add a search engine from the address bar](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox#w_add-a-search-engine-from-the-address-bar).
For Kagi, if you want search suggestions in the URL bar, make sure to follow the first steps [here](https://help.kagi.com/kagi/getting-started/setting-default.html#firefox_desktop). Then use the latter steps to setup Kagi for private browsing using your [private session link](https://help.kagi.com/kagi/getting-started/setting-default.html#private_session). Otherwise, you can just use the private session link. Don't forget to add `&q=%s` to the end of the session link.
> [!NOTE]
> For Kagi, if you want search suggestions in the URL bar, make sure to follow the first steps in their [Firefox tutorial](https://help.kagi.com/kagi/getting-started/setting-default.html#firefox_browsers). Then, use the latter steps to setup Kagi for Private Browsing using your [private session link](https://help.kagi.com/kagi/getting-started/setting-default.html#private_session).

> If you don't care about enabling search suggestions, then you can use the private session link both as your default and private search engine.

> Don't forget to add `&q=%s` to the end of the session link!
