White text over white images on https://duckduckgo.com/whatsnew - not very readable! (Edit: How odd; a reload caused the page to be displayed differently, with the images below the text and icons.)
What changed since the preview was announced? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7700192 The contrast on the main page is still too low.
We also added themes (in the side menu) to address some of the feedback on contrast. Classic theme reverts to the color scheme of the old site. And you can fine tune the individual colors further in Settings.

Please. There's no need to have the non-descript hamburger icon on a page designed for desktop
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 do really like having the images and videos readily available; I just don't feel like the current presentation strikes the right balance between the text search results and "hey, you might want these images or videos", unlike the extremely valuable instant-answer boxes, which when present are almost always what I want.

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…
My need for !g has certainly decreased, but I also find that when I do use it I often feel that the DuckDuckGo result was actually closer to what I wanted. DuckDuckGo seems to be getting better, while Google is getting worse in some areas. The results that I get from Google is still impressive, but more and more it seems that they are making wrong assumptions about my wishes.

People get through websites with scrollwheels. Forcing people to use non-standard scrolling (left right) AND forcing them to do with click handles... I wonder if they're keeping data on how many people see the main preview and quit out versus how many actually see the other 5+ slides...
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback to us during our public beta period! Please keep the feedback coming so we can quickly iterate. We really do listen to it all.

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")
