Safari redirects to Microsoft start

How is the Duck duck go browser on my apple phone linked to Microsoft Start? How do I get rid of the Microsoft start that has sneaked into my phone in the last 2 weeks appx?

I am using Duck Duck Go and I am having the same issue. If I ask Siri to look something up, all responses are delivered through Microsoft Start. I get to read a paragraph and then it directs me to continue reading on the app. We need specific instructions on how to disable this annoying feature.

I believe Microsoft is Hijacking Both my Duck Duck Go and Safari Browser. Cant stop it from defaulting to predator corporation Microsoft. Can you help?

After I uninstalled the START app, I was still having trouble getting responses. A lot of server can't be found errors. Your solution worked for me so thanks!

I can't imagine Apple allowing a Microsft app to HIJACK my browser. I expect a fix for that on the next IOS release because if they can do it, anyone can.

If your search queries are ignoring your chosen Search Engine and being redirected through Microsoft Start (or whatever; it's not what you chose) then please read Removing "Search Marquis" / "Search Baron" / etc on your own - Apple Community, and post the three screenshots it describes in a reply to this Discussion.

Better yet, post a brand new question. The OP never responded to his original concern so we have to assume it's been fixed. Your problem may be different, and requires a different solution. That's the reason it's always best to create your own Discussion. To do that click the Ask the Community link above.

I understand that you want to load a website (MSN.com) but some other website loads instead. Is that correct?

Try resetting Safari's History and / or website data.

If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected - Apple Support also has a number of suggestions.

I don't have that. I specifically keep them off as well as Google my phone.
