DuckDuckGo search in IceCat suggesting to search in Google or Bing

Description

When I search for "GINGERBREAD.DDKK1" in DuckDuckGo search engine from my IceCat web browser, at the end of result, DDG suggests to "Try Google or Bing."

While DDG is a search engine, not a software, yet it is not good practice to suggest other search engines, especially which is known to collect user search terms to show ads and to spy on its users.

DuckDuckGo (SSL) in Abrowser doesn't show this suggestion; Hope IceCat maintainer/s will look into this issue.

This is DuckDuckGo function wrt different browsers and not a Trisquel Issue.
