I presume you are referring to AWS Lambda in which case wouldn't the IP addresses be within the IP range used by AWS? If so, Google might have already blocked those IPs.

Have you tried the Uber PWA? It should work with Mozilla's location API (which microg uses).

You can add an arbitrary web application as a search engine for Chrome, just like in any other modern web browser. You go to Settings > Manage search engines > Add or pick one of the auto discovered ones. This also works in the mobile

I don't see how doing this helps them track DuckDuckGo searches any better than they already could in Google Chrome . EDIT: Added italicized text for clarity.

According to the website, the debate is that Apple does not currently allow apps to do what you are describing. A few quotes from the timeline: > Apple now prohibits buttons or links to any other external ways to pay. > While we haven

I'm not so sure about that. I have a difficult time believing that anyone in the "mainstream audience" would take the time to read Mozilla's blog posts, or more generally the blog posts of any tech company.

Another user pointed out that Firefox Send is written to use an Amazon S3 compatible API to run. That could mean that Mozilla is using AWS for the service. https://github.com/mozilla/send#requirements

I really like YaCy (I run a node), but a big problem with it that will prevent it from ever competing with Google/Bing is the lack of a verifiable link graph for ranking results. Right now it basically just uses full text search and a
