Well, yes. But then again the 'Take Back Control' campaign had those UKIP buses saying "We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS instead". An average person is a bit too removed from the GDP/investments conversations anyway.


This is such a shame. As a Pixel 6a user, I was always bothered by the battery situation of the phone but happily ran GrapheneOS on the device since buying. Recently the model had a battery combustion incident and now this. And there I was thinking of getting another Pixel phone down the line.


By the same logic with the Israel-Palestine issue, the US is currently the only state visibly blocking calls for immediate ceasefires and establishing a Palestinian state (which is essential for a two-state solution) at the UN and it can therefore be called the enemy of the most of the world.

Edit: improve grammar and wording


I think the biggest deal-breaker for me is that they chose to go with /e/OS which is not something I enjoyed after trying it briefly since the skin over AOSP to me seemed ugly and bloated and change for the sake of it.

I would like to try out the recent Zefones and the nothing phone also seems good. But at the moment I have my Pixel 6a which is serving me well enough.


There's no skin on /e/OS, it is just a fork of LineageOS with a few Google/telemetry things removed, MicroG integrated, and a handful of apps/services preinstalled.

Are you talking about the default launcher? You can download dozens of different launchers on their app store, and install them with one click. Including Trebuchet, which is the default launcher on LineageOS, which is, at this point, de facto AOSP.


They support /e/OS, but it comes with normal android out of the box.

I recently made the swtich from DDG from Searx simply bevause right-clicking on a search result to copy the url resulted in a referrer link to be copied rather than the link of the result destination.


I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/ to automatically convert referrals to actual links on web pages.


I've been using ClearURLs for a while so I never even realized that DDG used referrer links. Have they always done this?


I think enabling DoNotTrack header or disabling JavaScript prevents this behavior: i cannot reproduce on Tor Browser. But you are correct this is a worrying development.


Isn't the referral link only on the ad results, which is clearly marked "AD"? That's what my quick test shows.


Now I am not sure what exactly the issue is but this seems to be applicable to all results, at least on my particular setup.

On LibreWolf browser,

On mouse hover, the correct result urls show but then I right-click one, it shows something like:

https://duckduckgo.com/l/?uddg=<destination_url_here>&notrut...

But this same behaviour cannot be observed on Google/Searx on the same browser. It also even isn't observable with DDG on a FF nightly build on the same system and a FF stable build on a separate one.

Edit: url formatting

EDIT2: this behaviour seems to be limited to my particular setup and even a clean LibreWolf profile seems not to suffer from this issue. I apologise for the misunderstanding.


Bizarre. I would never guess that was a local problem, even with my post I assumed you accidentally copied the ad then quickly made a decision.


I think the danger of such a shift is that people will no longer have the same level of incentive to make 'good' videos but rather clickbait-y ones that go viral



Thanks for linking that. Seems like the patches are 95% UI-related. There doesn’t seem to be any significant change related to improving privacy.

While I’m grateful to this project for calling attention to the privacy issues with Firefox, most of the effort spent on this seems like replacing the brand.

People could get nearly all of the benefit by copying the policy.json file.
