Now I just type my search terms into the address bar as normal and I’m searching on DDG. The address points at a special DDG server that passes your request on to the normal DDG processing. The method is described on this DuckDuckGo help page but the TL DR is to first tell Safari you want Yahoo as your search engine (this choice is important for reasons explained on the help page) and then set an explicit address for in /etc/hosts. After a bit of searching (with DuckDuckGo, of course) I discovered a neat hack to make DuckDuckGo the Safari default. Performing failure analysis, troubleshoot. It’s smaller then Leopard so you’ll get some HD space back. It’s not a major upgrade but there are a few nice features that I believe make it worth while.
#Glims safari 8 update#
I’ll update this post if/when I discover any new issues. Sadly, Apple in its wisdom has exactly three choices for a default search engine: Google, Bing, or Yahoo. Role: GLIMS SupportLocation: Holly Spring,North CarolinaRates as follows: 50 hr W2 & 55/hr C2CDuration. Update 9/8/09: A beta version of Xmarks for Safari which works in Snow Leopard has been released. I had to find some way to make it the default.I liked it enough to make it my main search engine. Saft Similar to Glims, Saft is the go-to plug-in if you want all kinds of neat features added to Safari.Of course, most of the time I’d forget and type my search query into normal address bar instead and then have to retype it.Īfter using DDG for a few days I decided that I started by adding DDG to my Safari Bookmarks Bar so that I could just click on it when I wanted to search. In my continuing quest for a smaller (visible) footprint on the Net, I’ve stopped using Google and switched to DuckDuckGo for searches. Editorial Note: You probably won’t care about this post unless you’re a Mac user but all readers are welcome.
