Comment:
Google is somewhat hostile to Tor users and more than somewhat hostile to
privacy. DuckDuckGo has made overt efforts to support privacy, and to
support Tor specifically. We should be embracing DDG. They may not be
perfect (URI rewriting to add affiliate codes in search results) but they
are orders of magnitude better than Google for our purposes. The
transparency DDG has offered into their operation is unprecedented. Having
a really high quality search engine that runs both a hidden service *and*
an exit enclave is something TBB should be supporting and driving users to
by default.
Please, make this change and make it soon.
