[Bug] DuckDuckGo won't start (crashes every time)

Describe the bug

When I attempt to start DuckDuckGo, I see a black screen for a few seconds, and then the display goes back to the launcher.

How to Reproduce

Just press the DuckDuckGo icon and always get the behavior described above.

I do have logs, which I hope will indicate the problem:

Expected behavior

I expect DuckDuckGo to start.

Environment

- DDG App Version: 5.217.9
- Device: Xiaomi phone (A3)
- OS: Android 11

Start by reproducing the crash on the listed Xiaomi A3 running Android 11 with DDG App Version 5.217.9, then inspect the startup flow through Launcher and BrowserActivity using the supplied logs. Done means DuckDuckGo reaches a usable start screen without the app process dying.
