WTF are you talking about ? Have u read my questions before answering ? Do you find them unclear ? I'm asking once again the same question that is asked from the beginning, no one takes even 5 minutes to answer it seriously. Here it is : Given what we all know about Google's active implication in PRISM and global surveillance, why is Google still approved by the "privacy-aware" Gnuzilla project. "Google's presence there is as an approved company by GNUzilla project." Narcis Garcia That's all the info we got so far and that's no info at all actually, that's just mere paraphrase. Please someone take 5 minutes of your time to answer. You can do it. On 28/03/2016 17:43, Narcis Garcia

Are you funded by Google company directly or vicariously Narcis? Is the GnuZilla project in its whole ? Who is taking decisions in GnuZilla ? Is there some kind of democratic process involved in it ? Is GnuZilla part of the Gnu project ? So many essential questions, so hard to get answers so far... The html version of DDG is occupying all your thoughts... must be...

I feel that Icecat has no difference in this question from its programming code; the difference is in default search engines selecion. El 24/03/16 a les 16:14, Habs ha escrit:re: Icecat 38.5.0 on Slackware 14.1 32bit Hi everyone This is about Icecat and DuckDuckGo search and the respecting of search region (and I presume some other things not as yet noticed). If I search from the address bar and/or search bar at the top of Icecat, then the results returned do not seem to reflect the 'priority' of the previously saved DDG search region setting. The search bar that then appears in the results webpage, does not show the region flag. In Mozilla Firefox, that issue does not exist and the search results do appear to reflect the preferred search region settings and the search bar at the top of the results displays the chosen regions flag. Checking in 'about:config' on Icecat and Firefox, I could not discern any obvious differences between the two that could be a cause. What I have noticed is that Icecat, on pressing enter to search in the address bar or the search bar, returns the results and the address bar entry resembles: https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=.... - note the 'html'. FF returns: https://duckduckgo.com/?q= If I browse to the DDG page: https://duckduckgo.com and type my search in that search bar on the webpage (as opposed to the address/sear bar search) then the results returned (and the appropriate flag) are respecting the search region preference. It appears that something is different when using the address and search bars. I am unable to affect this with various settings changes I have [blindly] tried and cannot spot obvious differences between FF (where it works as expected) and Icecat. It did 'work' when I downloaded a different DDG search engine which was DDG Blue - it seemed to me to be just a theme change, but it worked. Yet again, I could not spot any differences which I could use in the default engine. My knowledge is limited, but I am enjoying Icecat as for one reason, it appears on my machine to be much faster and performant than FF. I am just looking for ideas to identify where I can affect this behaviour [to respect the region and possibly other settings] as I tend to use the address and search bars a lot. If someone is aware of this or has any ideas, I'd like to hear about them. Thank you Habs -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org-- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org-- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org-- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org |
