Replaces GET request to POST on DuckDuckGo

Description from store
This is UNOFFICIAL extension.
Replaces GET request to POST on DuckDuckGo.
GET is less secure compared to POST because data sent is part of the URL. So it's saved in browser history and server logs in plaintext. POST is a little safer than GET because the parameters are not stored in browser history or in web server logs.
Some other notes on GET requests:
GET requests can be cached
GET requests remain in the browser history
GET requests can be bookmarked
GET requests should never be used when dealing with sensitive data
GET requests have length restrictions
GET requests should be used only to retrieve data
Some other notes on POST requests:
POST requests are never cached
POST requests do not remain in the browser history
POST requests cannot be bookmarked
POST requests have no restrictions on data length
