Description
Describe the bug
Hello
- In settings entirely disabled AI features cannot be interpreted as disabled since mentions elsewhere suggest that there must be an AI feature enabled.
Presences of the AI symbol in search bar and explicit mention Duck.ai.
- The size of the widget created on home screen is not the one that is indicated at the time of the addition of the widget. Instead of 4 x 1, the size is likely to be at least 8 x 1 .
Size of the widget on home screen
How to Reproduce
Settings:
- AI features ==> Duck.ai | disabled
- Home screen widget | click Add
Expected behavior
- Entirely disabled AI features to be as such, thus with no presence of element suggesting elsewhere in aprompt and UI that they must stilll be enabled.
- Size of widget indicated at the time of the widget addition to be the one on home screen.
Environment
- DDG application v.: 5.253.1
- Device: Huawei Mediapad T5
- OS: Android, v. 8.0.0, emui v. 8.0.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing both problems using the listed settings and the Add action on the specified Android device and app version. Compare the AI prompt and search UI with AI features disabled, then compare the widget size shown during addition with its home-screen size; done means disabled features leave no misleading AI cues and the displayed and actual widget sizes match.
