DuckDuckGo Conflict-Proxy?

[JackDSRS]

I installed the newest version and timed out on starting the Facebook page. Then I installed versions going back to 10.0.10 and each version did the same thing. I tried every combination of settings I could think of but nothing worked. Then I accidentally disabled DuckDuckGo's tracker protection and it came up right away. I re-enabled the protection and could continue the session.

Is it the DuckDuckGo's proxy? Do I need to do this every time? I looked and searched through the issues but didn't see anything about this, so I hesitated before asking.

Let me add to that. When I disable DuckDuck, the message I get is "Internet connection restored." I don't have DuckDuck's fancy paid VPN service.
