6. How does Waterfox make money?

Waterfox has search partnerships. That is, the default search on Waterfox is monetised. If you search with it, Waterfox gets a share of the revenue. You are under no obligation to use the default search - but if you like what Waterfox does and want to support the project, please consider using it.

What is the default search engine that waterfox profits from? I like Waterfox but I also don't wanna compromise my own privacy by using Google, for instance. If you can profit from DuckDuckGo, even better.
