Description Prakash S 2012-09-11 17:55:47 UTC
Description of problem:
DuckDuckGo is a general purpose search engine with real privacy (we do not collect or share personal information), less spam/clutter and instant answers.  We would like to be included as a search option in Firefox.

Additional info:
Please add https://duckduckgo.com/?q={{search}}&t=fedora so that we can count the number of searches from Fedora.

Opensearch: https://duckduckgo.com/opensearch_ssl.xml

Thanks!

We use the default settings that mozilla provides...why is not DuckDuckGo included in firefox shipped by mozilla?

Comment 2 Prakash S 2012-09-12 09:11:20 UTC
Mozilla hasn't added us to Firefox.  We are however available in Debian, Ubuntu (Canonical), Linux Mint and several other distors: http://help.duckduckgo.com/customer/portal/articles/216425-linux-distributions

None of the existing options on Firefox provide privacy.  We do not collect or share personal information (https://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html) and therefore are an excellent choice for many of your users that care about privacy.

Please let me know if you would like any additional information.
