This is something important. Please look after this issue.
I still wonder how you found that disabling "Show autocomplete in address bar" causes the issue 😅✌️
I accidentally found out Search with DuckDuckGo
wasn't working properly in my daily user profile while testing various scenarios for a user in Brave Community - https://community.brave.com/t/private-window-search-defaults-to-ddg-even-when-another-search-engine-is-set-as-default/275775.
I created another user profile so I could determine whether the issue was related to my daily user profile in some way, and it turned out there was something wrong with my daily user profile. So, in order to find out what was wrong with my daily user profile, I simply began changing Brave's default settings in the new user profile until the Search with DuckDuckGo
option broke.
Great !
