I found that yesterday by accident when I was looking for an online color picker.

I think they've had this for quite a while, I at least have been using it for over a year now.

Um, not on Firefox mobile it doesnt.

Is it desktop only?

It works for me on iOS Safari, so maybe it’s just Firefox Mobile it doesn’t work on.

Google on firefox is severely crippled for some reasons. None of the modern features work in it.

I haven't found that to be the case.

> for some reason

And the reason is Google does it on purpose, and has done it for a long time. For years, Firefox was served an older, uglier, less functional version of their website.

I generally really like DuckDuckGo's widgets. Just typing in currency conversions from and to crypto e.g. has always worked much better for me with them. Happy to have them as my default.
