[Dev] About DuckDuckGo offer to Parabola...

[André Silva]

Hi parabolers, I received a email from duckduckgo by Prakash Swaminathan
because they want to know if it could be included on our browsers. 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.

Here are the following messages:

André,

At DuckDuckGo, we believe that privacy
<https://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html> and better search are not mutually
exclusive.

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,

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.

Regards,
André Fabian Silva Delgado

André,

Thanks!  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?

Kind regards,
Prakash

Prakash,

I'm very grateful by the offer that you are sending for Parabola by my
intermediation, but our distro was created by a small community of
hackers, and i think that the best way is send your offer to our mail. I
give to you the following email to that you can communicate to us:

dev at lists.parabolagnulinux.org

Waiting your response soon, kind regards:
André Fabian Silva Delgado
