Nice. Makes DDG more competitive especially in the mobile area.
12 years ago I would have been shocked if there would be basically one search engine with 80% of the market and then MS taking the bulk of what is left. I would be thrilled if DDG got a substantial user base. Apple should have started a search engine long ago.
