Since the new graphical redesign (I think it was then), the links on the main DDG search page (i.e. "Firefox" and "Homepage") have only had about 4 lines of text being displayed, because the user is told to "check out the support center", which is fine by me, BUT: The grey box which pops up still has the same amount of space as it did when the explanations were *in* that box, as opposed to on the support center. Why not just removed that area (indicated in stripes in the image below)?
I propose that we implement this into DDG. This could be implemented in two ways:
1) On actual searches, i.e. Next to a search result, these icons could be displayed, stating how private the site is. This would function much like WOT ratings (I think).
2) On DDG itself as part of its Privacy Policy, i.e. these icons could be added to the DDG privacy policy as a "certificate" of privacy. But maybe that's stupid.
In any case, I may be misreading/forgetting something, but I don't see who decides which sites deserves which icon. In any case, I think that a WOT-like use, with the relevant icons displayed next to the search result showing how private it is would be a good feature to implement. Alternatively, a summary with something like "This website has: very good/good/medium/bad/no privacy policy", with a "Learn more" next to it could also work. However, this would depend on each of the icons having a coefficient which would then be used to calculate the privacy level.
I'm assuming this has already been discussed a hundred times over, but I was wondering whether DDMail was a feature that was being developed, and if so, is there an estimated time of arrival (not precise, just a broad estimate) for it? I realise this may be a repost, so I apologise for that if it is.
