▲ 56 ▼ 1.org now the default search engine in WaterFox. (piefed.ca) submitted 5 months ago by albbi@piefed.ca to c/linux@programming.dev 31 comments fedilink hide all child comments I just updated (I use arch btw) and had to reboot WaterFox. The default search engine got changed to 1.org and StartPage no longer shows up as a default option even. Has this happened to anybody else?

There was a revenue sharing agreement between the two companies, but with no profit, the partnership was dissolved.
