Comment on Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News

glockenspiel@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

Could be that Apple will acquire DuckDuckGo. A little hasty to presume it I suppose, but Apple has to wonder how much money they are leaving on the table by taking Google’s payments. If Google will pay them more than $9 billion/year just to be default—what does that say about how profitable Apple’s absolutely huge and locked-in base can be?

How is Apple going to monetize DuckDuckGo to make up for that $9 billion, without compromising their other efforts w/r/t user and data privacy?

  How much do they monetize Apple Maps for? Sometimes companies just buy something to be a service supporting the thing they actually sell.

  I think the appropriate word here is marketing. There’s no real privacy in an Apple device.
