Waterfox 6.5.10: Bing terminates search syndication deal (www.waterfox.net)

Bing has terminated all of its search syndication and API services, and will likely be removed completely in a future version. As it is a struggle to monetise Waterfox Private Search with an ad-supported free version, it’s unlikely it will ever be default and instead will be a subscription-only based service.

The default search engine has been changed to Startpage.

Oh no... anyone know what this means for DuckDuckGo?

A quick search tells me that DuckDuckGo and other larger partners will retain access, for now.

Thanks for checking and the update.

I’d imagine their search results will get slightly better.

I’m not entirely joking because Bing is that terrible.

That almost amazingly, it will get worse.
