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.
