Make a "DuckDuckGo as default search engine" add-on #140
Comments
Hi. I've created a repo in response to this: https://github.com/rootvalues/duckduckgo-default |
@rootvalues Thank you for taking your time. Can you please ask the DDG developers if you can merge it to https://github.com/duckduckgo/ ? It will get most users if it's released by the DuckDuckGo company. |
@alohaas @russellholt Requesting to merge https://github.com/rootvalues/duckduckgo-default to https://github.com/duckduckgo/ |
@rootvalues Excellent. I'll ask the GNU IceCat developer to add and enable your add-on to the default browser profile if the DDG people upload it to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/duckduckgo/#my-submissions |
@rootvalues Is it possible for you to make a Git request? |
@davidhedlund I don't think its possible to request to add a repository to DuckDuckGo's profile without developer permission. |
@rootvalues Question for you if I may: Like many others from what I'm reading over the web, I am personally not enjoying this hijacking and would like to be free to choose my search engine, whatever the reason behind that is (accuracy, mood, ...). Am I correct if I say that this part is responsible for the search engine hijacking?
If so, can I change it somewhere? (From Chrome/Edge or within some file on disk.) Thanks! -- Got my response by giving it a try. |
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials adds DuckDuckGo as default search engine but a lot of users don't want the rest of the features.
Usefulness:
