Apple says DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com), the search engine that doesn’t track its users, will be included in the future versions of Safari on iOS and OS X.
“DuckDuckGo is thrilled to be included in Safari,” says Gabriel Weinberg, DuckDuckGo’s CEO and founder. “It’s great to see Apple making it easy for Safari users to access our anonymous search option.”
He adds that DuckDuckGo recently launched a reimagined and redesigned version that showcases a more powerful way to interact with their “instant answers” — information that appears above links and ads for recipes, videos, and hundreds of other topics. DuckDuckGo’s instant answers are open-source, allowing anyone to contribute ideas and code to them. In 2013, DuckDuckGo received over one billion searches.
