Some of the screenshots hark back to the good ol' days of homepages like iGoogle or Yahoo's customizable homepage. It's been a while since I ever had my browser go to one page when I start it up or open a new tab, so I'm guessing the integration would only be a complement to the main browser/card integration.
Too bad for google I use duck duck go now.
No one cares.
duck duck go cares. they are small but with constant traffic increases.
honestly, it is the only search engine that gives me motives to use something other than google.
I know what duckduckgo is. It's antithetical to the concept of Google Now, so I'm not sure why it's relevant.
