Re: [tor-talk] duck duck go



No not directly related to Tor but was the subject of some discussion a few days ago. I didn't see you pop your little note into that.

Yes I agree it was an extension that was installed BUT in my defense I used the "get more search engines" in Firefox's Manage Search Engine List. I was not expecting and probably did not pay enough attention to the fact it was actually installing an extension rather than just a search engine string.

It seems Firefox is now using extensions to provide search engine results. Not Cool either.
Caught once won't be caught again.

Oh and yeah its privacy related I don't like extensions spying on my search....

No, what you apparently did was install the DDG extension for firefox. Which very cleary advertises the feature you don't like: https://dukgo.com/help/en_US/desktop/firefox

Which, btw is the reason I don't have any of their extensions installed. But you can hardly blame the extension for doing what it tells you it does.

Also, not related to Tor.
