DuckDuckGo was working fine as a search engine but within the last month, the search results are flashed for a second before the whole tab goes to white blank displaying nothing. I removed DuckDuckGo privacy extension. Switched temporarily to Google. Search results were fine. Switched back to DuckDuckGo as default engine. Same problem is experienced now.

Disable all your extensions and see what happens.

Thanks. First one I disabled in the add-on control page was add-blocker ultimate. Saw a lot of improvement but not 100%. Eventually running with Add-blocker extension enable for the browser but disabled specifically for duckduckgo and it seems to have solved the problem.
