Shhhhhh!
That would be a nice commercial for duckduckgo. But it would totally make sense for the user. I bet Google payed a lot of money for that not to happen.
Yes Google pays Apple billions of dollars each year to keep Google Search as default.
Mmm… I can kinda see the argument. DuckDuckGo may not be collecting your info, specifically, but anything remotely loaded certainly is.
Still, shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Their competitor is Google Search, which is basically surveillance at this point. And they are worried that DDG may leak some data 🙄
And let’s get real, we all know this isn’t some tech problem, this is 100% political; nothing to do with the underlying tech in the least.
I suspect the objection had to do with some misinformation regarding the Duckduckgo browser. I remember reading about the issue and thinking it was about search, too.
The DDG CEO wrote up a response on Reddit and it explains it very well. Here’s a link to the comment on the Wayback machine.
