The missing piece of Apple's "hegemony" in its own ecosystem: Web Search. They still depend on Google, and it's surprising to me that they don't seem to care that much.

@steveklabnik: Just out of curiosity, did it not work out at Cloudflare? Seems like a rather short stint.

The article has a few weak assumptions: > Sacconaghi estimates that Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL) pays Apple (AAPL) between $7 billion and $8 billion a year for Google to be the default search engine for iOS ... The real figure is probably

Not necessarily. Startpage uses Google for all of its results. > You can’t beat Google when it comes to online search. So we’re paying them to use their brilliant search results in order to remove all trackers and logs. - https:/

If you consider it moral to block first party ads on Google, most adblockers should prevent ads from being loaded. Are you using one?

Ironically, Bing (powering DDG) is not mentioned in the article at all.

I'm very sad to see Firefox opting for these sort of measurements. I understand Mozilla may want to renegotiate the search deals to make more money, but it risks losing users' trust. They should really be spending time to figure o

I'm genuinely surprised Sugar is not even in the list.

Not strictly related, but every time I see projects moving to Gitlab it makes me happy. GitHub certainly has been adding some very sweet features, a lot of great integrations - but with each one you lock yourself in. We cannot afford anothe

Once you put an employee in a position where the only way to get a salary hike is to change employers, there is no way back - you change employers. It worked out well for me, and AFAIK the role is not filled yet in the previous company.

Congratulations for the launch. Looks nice. For those that are cautious uploading sensitive PDFs, you can always just open them with Inkscape, and start editing pretty much anything in a document. PS: I was once forwarded an application for

You're right - spoiled by the internet connection. I guess I was referring more to the UI.

Third party cookies are a liability, and I wish they go away (although the thought of having Google set web standards scares me). However, I'm afraid what this will do is accelerate a different type of tracking involving first party we

I'm not. Being a re-seller of search and ads is not an impressive narrative for a company that sells the illusion of a search alternative. DDG adds value in the privacy realm, and I'd rather have it exist than not, but its continu
