On October 7th, according to foreign media reports, insiders revealed that Apple has entered into negotiations with the search engine DuckDuckGo, hoping to replace the default search engine for Safari Browser's seamless mode from Google to DuckDuckGo.

It is reported that Apple's move is related to Google's antitrust case, which involves allegations of Google abusing its power as a major search provider. The federal judge in charge of the case is expected to disclose the relevant negotiation details later this week. The testimony of DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg and Apple executive John Giannandrea at the hearing on October 4th will be made public.

In addition, in Apple's latest iOS17 system, users can set different browsers as the default browser when using private browsing mode, which is a new change compared to the previous iOS system.

According to DuckDuckGo's official website, DuckDuckGo is an independent internet privacy company that helps protect users' privacy through free web browsers for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, while also preventing other companies from attempting to track users by default.

In addition, DuckDuckGo officially estimates that it has over 100 million users and stated that thanks to all its users, DuckDuckGo ranks second in the mobile search market share in multiple markets such as the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, and Canada.
