Simple option: replace Epiphany with Chromium.
Complex option: search Google for the instructions for how to stop using DuckDuckGo.

this installs Chromium 49.0 on Jessie

Code: Select all

mkdir chromium
cd chromium
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/237755896/libgcrypt11_1.5.3-2ubuntu4.3_armhf.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/248437551/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_49.0.2623.87-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1112_armhf.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/248437549/chromium-browser_49.0.2623.87-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1112_armhf.deb

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Not the most stable. Chromium is compiling bow against libgcrypt20 which is in Jessie, which should be a more simple solution.
