Bodhi Linux has a partnership with the wonderful folks at DuckDuckGo that helps generate some revenue to support our project.

Chromium, the default browser that ships with Bodhi Linux 7.0.0 can be defaulted to use the DuckDuckGo search engine and is the default in Bodhi 5.x (Epiphany).

If you have chosen a different default browser you can continue to support Bodhi Linux by configuring your preferred browser to use the Bodhi Linux DuckDuckGo search.
