I love the idea. Would you mind mind filing a bug on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/?

One more idea - any chance you guys are making a Firefox Focus for the desktop? It's great on mobile, would love a desktop version too!

It's just a content blocker + private browsing. Can get same functionality on desktop with private browsing and some ad blocker

Plus tab functionality removed, hence the name "focus".

(I should add that, while I work at Mozilla this is my personal view, not Mozilla's official view, yada, yada)

Their privacy-focused mobile browser, Firefox Focus, defaults to DDG.

That's a great idea, along with a message explaining why.

Well, they could, but I would assume a contract with Google would prevent that.

Could. We don't know what's in this contract.

Pretty sure Google doesn't circumvent incognito so what's the point?

Google certainly tracks people by their IP address, so your privacy is lesser with Google as your search engine than DDG.

Not only that, but it also raises awareness of private search engines with the general audience.

Are you sure? I thought they didn't do this.

Though keep in mind it dates back to 2004.
