[Trisquel-users] Browser Tells DuckDuckGo I'm using Trisquel?

[callmeclean]

When I search using the default DuckDuckGo search in both Abrowser & GNU  
IceCat, an HTML GET query is sent. This is what is added to the URL:  
"&t=trisquel". Has anyone else noticed this? I know many search engines do  
things like this to gather statistics on OS usage, but I didn't think  
DuckDuckGo would. And why on earth do these two privacy oriented browsers  
provide this?

You can manually add the HTML DDG search engine and use that to avoid this  
being sent.
