1237477 - Add DuckDuckGo to all locales

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

[Stefan Arentz | :st3fan | ⏰ EST | he/him]

People have been asking for DDG in other locales. :mconnor confirmed that we can add DDG to all locales that currently do not have it.

Moving this to 2.0 because this should be a small fix. We can simply add ddg to all the list.txt files.

Okay, so...

a) we should coordinate with localizers. DDG hasn't been universally popular (some regions just don't have great results yet), IIRC.  We're allowed to ship DDG wherever we want.
b) I hate list.txt, and I'm sad that's how we're doing things.

That's because we literally scrap Fennec for search settings and searchplugins.

If we add DDG on iOS side, we should forget about syncing searchplugins (that's already broken because of Wikipedia, see bug 1225890).

Any reason as to why this was closed? Would really like to get away from using Google on different locales.
