Has anyone figured out how to add a search engine option to the list Apple offers?

DuckDuckGo prioritizes MSN’s lifted pages. I need original pages. This MSN crap is unacceptable.

    I mean, if the only constraint is that it be on an Apple platform, and not specifically for Safari, I imagine just use a browser that lets you choose your search engine. Firefox can, and I’m sure that there are also Chrome-based browsers out there that do so as well.

      Just FYI there are no chrome based browsers on IOS cos there is no chromium, the FOSS ones use Firefox mostly

        Huh? Custom web engines aren’t allowed on iOS, Firefox’s included. All iOS browsers are just UIs on top of Safari’s engine.

        Edit: idk about the EU though

          They are based off Firefox for IOS which uses WebKit, but they are still based on the browser like Edge which is based on chromium vs Flakon which uses blink but not the rest chromium

      I use it and it’s pretty great, though it sometimes does feel like a hack (I mean, that’s essentially what it is).

      For a better experience pick a search engine in Safari that you’ve blocked with DNS so that you’ll never see a glimpse of it before xSearch redirects you (as you would on a slower network).
