I can't resist this...maybe we should switch to using skipity.com for search. At least their "privacy policy" hides nothing! http://skipity.com/privacy (I wonder how many people actually use skipity.) ___________________________________ Daniel V.

I haven't seen that and I'm using the same browser but I installed it in a slightly different way. There's a button in the bottom right-hand corner of the page (it's grey text on white button, so kind of hard to see) that should say "Firefox" (in Chrome it will say "Chrome"). If you click on this it will give you a pop-up with a link to the DuckDuckGo search engine add-on (which is SSL by default, also nice). Maybe give that a try?
SSL is nice but, if you're like me, you may want to use the lite version of the search that is javascript free. Just wanted to point that out. Tim Doty

For those of you that keep cookies between sessions, they have some really nice options [http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html] and their bang syntax is a nice feature [http://duckduckgo.com/bang.html]. Definitely recommended. Now I just need a good free web-based email alternative...

I just changed my Google Chrome instance to use it as the default search engine. I'll see how it goes. Might just have to change over my other machines/browsers.
