The contrast is way too low, it prefers vertical over horizontal (I, like any people, have a widescreen monitor. Displaying 3 search results by default is a little absurd), a couple other issues.
It feels like a mobile interface.
Oh, and there's no way to revert to the old version. The options merely change the color scheme, as far as I can tell.
Not sure if anyone at DDG would ever read this, but my comments on the preview are still valid.

(Edit: How odd; a reload caused the page to be displayed differently, with the images below the text and icons.)

Changing the color scheme to "classic" on the side helps but doesn't completely fix the low contrast.
Instead of putting a large box at the top of some search results with what you think I want, why not put it to the side (the way Google does) and make use of the large amount of waster whitespace. I have tonnes of horizontal space available, not much vertical.
I've been using DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine for almost three years. It's improved fairly steadily in that time (as measured by how often I end up falling back to appending "!g" to my search), but this is the single biggest improvement I can remember in my time as a user. Aside from the auto-complete (which is nice), it feels significantly faster, and it's also easier to parse visually. I'm really excited a…
Is there anyway you know of to use DDG in the omnibar with some kind of autocomplete? That's the dealbreaker for me right now...I tried installing the chrome extension but it only lets you search in the omnibar by typing 'd'+space first, and still uses google's autocomplete (for "d [your search term], no less")
Still not totally in love with it, but it's still my primary search engine. While looking for ways to alter the UI, found the Dark theme -- so that was a plus.
I feel like this hasn't been really tested in Chrome on Windows. The gray, detail information on search results is pretty hard to get past. I kind of just give up using it halfway though, looks like it might be better on other browsers though.
