For what it's worth, I'm a *huge* user of arbitrary search engines. In Firefox and Chrome, I have them saved as keyword searches so I can do things like `man gcc` and `bz 1296670` and `koji sssd`
and those will immediately take me to the appropriate pages on those sites. That to me is a killer feature that would prevent me from switching (but don't let that affect the default discussion; I will still install whichever browser works best for me).
Well you can use arbitrary search engines that show up in the address bar, but the UI for it is poor, and for technical reasons you cannot set an arbitrary search engine as the default search engine. That's something we should fix.
Keyword searches work out-of-the-box using DuckDuckGo, though you can't configure them yourself. That's kind of a hidden feature, though. Anyway, I don't expect you to switch personally. :)
