Firefox tracking protection decreases page load time by 44%

IMO DuckDuckGo is the obvious choice of who to partner with. DDG already focuses on privacy as a defining feature, its why I use then as my primary search engine.

Seems like a win win for both Mozilla and DDG.

Mozilla needs the money, DDG doesn't have it

Rev share on searches that come through Firefox?

I think they already do. I know they rev share with distros that ship it as the default search engine in their browser packages.

Unfortunately they lack a lot of the features that make Google useful.

Like limiting by when the page appeared.

Almost nobody uses those features, useful though they may be.

Do you know that for sure?

It seems like an essential feature to use for software developers, since you can sidestep irrelevant posts.

I use that feature almost every day.
