.........well: on the right side on top of the duckduckgo page you see/find four small lines. touch these and you see a row with further
possibilities. One of these possibilities is the english equivalent of 'overige instellingen'(dutch): something like 'remaining settings'
click on these 'settings' and you see another row with advertenties (dutch) advertisement i guess in english. click once on advertisement
(or whatever) to put them off ('uit' in dutch). if you put your browser off and afterwards on again you must repeat this imho tedious
process to pue them off again and so on. that's it and i hope i am clear enough.
cheers,
steef
