mconnor, is this your domain?

It is, but it's a much bigger discussion than just "can we add this?"
Flags: needinfo?(mconnor)
Quick evaluation:

* Negligible market share at this point.
* Ten blue (green) links just doesn't cut it in the modern search landscape.  Without cards, integration of other types of search, or anything really innovative, it's really quite lacking.
* While there's arguably a privacy angle, I'm not convinced proxying everything through d.me is a game changer, especially in a landscape with DDG and other privacy-centric engines with better user experience.

At this point I can't see any real justification for inclusion at this time.  Marking WONTFIX based on present circumstances.
