New Start Page and WOT

Post by Jossee » 2015-02-09, 17:22

Hi.

Under the new start page when using Google as the engine WOT's results won't show, but they will with DuckDuckGo.
Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks.

This is a DuckDuckGo feature, not a google one.

as workaroud you can use the WOT addon anyway, but remember then the addon will check every your visiting website.

No, it's not a DuckDuckGo feature (there is no such thing as engines with ratings, it's always a browser plugin).
The WOT add-on works with Google (and Bing, Yahoo, Duck...) except in the new start page. Why?

it might be because the results page is hosted on the start.me domain and the extension not being smart enough to realize they are search results that should be rated.

It is a DuckDuckGo feature, there is such as thing as a search engine with ratings... DDG. WOT results icons are disabled by default in DDG (as I recall), but can be enabled in user settings. This feature does not required any WOT add-ons to be installed on the user's browser. (Note: This feature is available only in the "standard" version of DDG, not in the lite or html versions.)
