DuckDuckGo included in Opera

Can you shed any light on the deal terms? That search box is a major source of revenue for browsers. Did you undercut the other search engines?

I know it's sensitive business information but any information you can provide would be great.

There's no way DDG can outbid Google or Bing. Also, it's not the default search where all the money is so they probably didn't have to beat out the big dogs to get into the list.

Surely the minute DDG starts costing them revenue then Google, et al., will simply cut them off from using their search results (eg via !) and substantially reduce the utility of DDG?

Sorry, I cannot comment on the terms.

I'm not commenting on your deal specifically, but NDA-protected deals in general: let's say, 50 or 100 years from now, historians want to know all the details of various deals made between companies, to better understand the nature of the market in which we now exist. Is there any way for them to find out, or will these details be forever lost?
