I'm fine with Firefox getting paid for the 2nd step of the install being changing the default search to DDG.

Or just use LibreWolf. It's Firefox without the crap like Google search, Pocket or Sponsored sites. It also has significant privacy improvements compared to stock. I highly recommend it, it's been my daily driver for years.
