I am confused.

Ddg is a web search engine. So <search engine> for Mac seems like a type error.

The linked page tells you that they are hiring, and how to install the project, but /not what it is/.

Has anyone else noticed 99% of DDG search results are now AI spam? I can't look for anything on DDG anymore, it's 100 pages of "Table of Contents" questions/answers by AI. It's like when recipe blogs took over the internet, but worse now, because I can't even get a reliable answer now.

This is great to hear but I’ve found Kagi’s Orion to be so good that I’m unlikely to switch

I don’t understand why I’d want a DDG browser. Firefox seems fine ?

is this based on an existing engine/framework or something new?

We have taken steps to update our terminology and remove words with problematic racial connotations, most notably the change to main branches, allow lists, and blocklists. Closed issues or PRs may contain deprecated terminology that should not be used going forward.

TIL blacklist and whitelist are racist. Even though if you look at the etymology they're not. Meh.
