Why is it that when I search for something, then click the duck in the top left corner that brings you back to the homepage, that instead of bringing me to the normal Url, it brings me to: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=i which looks exactly the same. Further more when searching for something, for example "test" the url becomes https://duckduckgo.com/?q=test&t=i instead of the usual https://duckduckgo.com/?q=test
No good reason. I used to try to get a handle on how many requests are made to the homepage, but it would get confused with people clicking back to the homepage and this was an easy way to separate them out.
