    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.<br>
    <br>
    Here are the following messages:<br>

        Prakash,<br>
        <br>
        At Parabola, DuckDuckGo is our main search engine, eg:
        duckduckgo was included in </tt> <tt><a moz-do-not-send="true"
          class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:home">about:home</a>
        and search bar in iceweasel-libre and icecat. Others browsers as
        Konqueror-libre contains DuckDuckGo as search engine option on
        our distro [0].<br>
        Other search engines as Google, Yahoo and Bing were removed in
        our distro, due that they doesn't respect our privacy.<br>
        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].<br>
        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.<br>

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:

<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dev@lists.parabolagnulinux.org">dev@lists.parabolagnulinux.org</a>

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