I answered that we have included duckduckgo as main search engine on our browsers. So, they proposed 2 things for us. I would to put those mails to parabola mail list to that we decide in community.

We are available in Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, Opera and can offer your users a compelling alternative search option. What is the process to add DuckDuckGo to Parabola? Kind regards, Prakash -- Prakash Swaminathan, https://duckduckgo.com/ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: DuckDuckGo as a search option in Parabola Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:19:31 -0200 From: André Silva <[email protected]> To: Prakash Swaminathan <[email protected]> Prakash, At Parabola, DuckDuckGo is our main search engine, eg: duckduckgo was included in about:home and search bar in iceweasel-libre and icecat. Others browsers as Konqueror-libre contains DuckDuckGo as search engine option on our distro [0]. Other search engines as Google, Yahoo and Bing were removed in our distro, due that they doesn't respect our privacy. We put those modifications in a patch [1] [2] and was created a package called mozilla-searchplugins, that includes DuckDuckGo in our plugins list for Mozilla based browsers [3]. We believe and advocate the freedom and privacy in the computing and in this case DuckDuckGo, Seeks and YaCy are the best search engines for our distro.

Delighted to hear that we are the default search engine in Parabola. We offer revenue-share in two ways: - If DuckDuckGo is the default search engine we split revenue 50-50% - If DuckDuckGo is an option among other search engines, we would split 25% Would this be of interest to you?
