Nice touch with the change region flag but I think I can break it
<hidden>
I set my region and language setting using the bookmark settings like so …
https://duckduckgo.com/?kag=1&k9=b&k8=33...
Trouble is when click on the flag to change the region nothing much seems to change.
If I search for obama I get telegraph.co.uk, en.wikipedia.org and biograph.com as the first three links for the region set to UK and USA.
If I switch to https://duckduckgo.com/ I get the same links for the UK but I get barackobama.com, en.wikipedia.org and whitehouse.gov for USA.
It would seem the bookmark settings in links is messing up the flag region settings.

I just want to add that I really like this new feature and tested it with normal use (switching with Dutch, VS and UK) and works. ^_^

Thanks for letting us know. We just pushed a fix for this. Can you try again and let me know if it's working as expected now?
Thanks!

Restart Firefox with plug-ins disabled
Ctrl+shift+del to delete everything
go to following page ...
https://duckduckgo.com/?kag=1&k9=b&k8=33...
Search for the word news
Click on flag so and change region to USA
Click on second flag to change back to UK
Things go wrong at this last stage. I now have two USA flags and it didn’t change back to the UK. If I click the first flag and change the region to the UK it works but I now have two UK flags.
