It seems DDG implements its own scrolling, so scrolling up does not make the controls appear, which is quite unexpected and makes a bad user experience.

I use DDG for most searches. The new site looks better but that's not helpful if I can't read it. I'm not 22 with good eyesight. At a minimum, there has to be a button available to fix the contrast issue.
...And the button there is. Did you find it? https://next.duckduckgo.com/settings

fn+left arrow is home on a Mac keyboard.
Do you have any idea of how many times I've rediscovered that? And how long it's taken each time? That and page-up / page-down. Yes, they're somewhat useful for navigating documents (including webpages).
I use DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine and have had a positive experience using it. This redesign incorporates two of the worst design trends today: very low contrast text and gratuitously, obnoxiously large fixed headers. I dislike fixed headers on any non-phone/tablet UI because almost all laptop and desktop screens are widescreen. Fixed position elements on the sides of the screen make much more sense, altho…
Thanks for the feedback! Our current version also has a fixed header, and that can be turned off in the settings, which we plan to make work in this next version as well. Noted on contrast. We will look into it more -- that's exactly the kind of feedback we were hoping to get.

Regarding page scrolling, I'm usually good with Space and shift-Space.
Terror and repressed memories are like that, you know.
I also miss all the colours and I prefer when search buttons are actual buttons instead of an icon inside the text field.
