Aviator, the new 'secure' browser for Windows (ported over from OS X) has DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. Trend.

I was really liking ddg until I realized a few days ago that they are also dropping referral keys due to https just like G.

I've still got DDG as default on most of my machines. It's easy to use their !bang  commands to search elsewhere.

Interesting. I gave it a whirl....but it's just another Chrome fork.

Well, if you wanted to use a non-Google Chrome variant it might be better than SRware Iron or Comodo Dragon...
