First of let me make things clear that, i have no/zero problems with bing or any other search engine as default search engine if it can support such an awesome project. I and many others dont like bing as default search engine and search engine is main thing of a browser, so even if we want to support waterfox through default search, it does become tough for us.
I am thinking like is there any way we can search in google and simultaneously we can browse through same query on default search engine (bing in this case) but it should happen in background so that even if we are using google in front ( in background same search query will be processed by bing so will this be good enough to support this project ? )
if this is worth it and possible by any mean then it will be great for this project in my opinion. We can disable ublock on bing/default search engine so that it can track that we have browsed through waterfox so in this way they can have our search data and idc personally because google already tracking no matter what we use, fingerprinting is still easy for them and so in this way we can benefit from better google search result in front side and in bg we can simulate same search (can release ram of those background pages after some minutes and in this way we can save ram as well 'if' needed.
We benefit from google search -> bing benefit by tracking our query -> waterfox get financial support
so it win-win situation. I will personally think about it, i just wanted to share this with team so that some innovative solution can be developed to support this project in better way because firefox alone is becoming **** day by day so waterfox is our hope. That's what i feel :-))
