I get the same issue all the time lately. Search, click link, go back - clicked link gone, different results shown.
I get this but never clicked link gone. Rearranged or added results.
Yep same here
I always use mousewheeldown click nowadays, it opens the link in a new tab.
Also mwd on the tabs themselves close the tab (without needing to hit the tiny cross).
Changed the way I browse
That's what I do on the desktop, but on mobile there's no quick way to open a new tab.
Would it help turning on the setting to have the links always open in a new tab?
It's been a long time since I used ddg, but I believe they have the option in their settings page, most search engines do.
While this is not a bad shout, I hate that this rearranging logic has made it to production in the first place. Ddg should really know better.
