[Vimprobable-users] Default configuration

[Hannes S. <ha...@yl...>]

Hi all,

I'd like to propose two changes to the default configuration:

- Cookie policy to accept no third party cookies. I believe this goes
  along with the general privacy philosophy of the browser. I'm aware
  that it will 'break' a couple of pages, though I nevertheless believe
  it is a sensible default.

- Include startpage.com as shortcut s. Since the demise of Scroogle,
  this shortcut is not taken anymore. Many people seem to prefer Google
  results. This seems to be the most sensible way to provide them.

On a related note, is everybody happy with the default search engine
setting? Or is everybody using DuckDuckGo/something else anyway (i.e.
it should become the new default shortcut)?

Comments, supporting or adverse, welcome!

Hannes

Cookie policy makes sense. I use duck duck go but haven't tried start page
yet myself.

Agreed.

Agreed.

I'm using DuckDuckGo, as it's currently the most promising alternative to Google. I'd make it the default search engine, just to support their cause.
