DuckDuckGo/WOT search partnership

I'm not so sure this is going to be a beneficial partnership for DDG. It might hurt the quality of the search results.

When I was looking into this sort of market (website trust metrics/scam+spam defense) WoT was the biggest player but their accuracy was absolutely horrible which made it near useless.

It is not the default, and currently only used for display purposes when turned on. I've gotten a lot of requests for this setting to be made available.

Hi Gabriel. Would it be possible to have the option to see both the WoT icons and the Favicons? I'm not sold on the WoT yet, but when I try it, I immediately miss the favicons..

Yeah, that is something I'm working on, but wanted to get this out in the mean time.

Agreed. WOT is terrible with accuracy. As some of the posts mention below, without a trusted review process, WOT is simply unmoderated user-generated content.
