In addition to the mixed content issue on Chrome, I've pushed out a fix for the tab completion component. It too inherently suffers from mixed content because our autocomplete server only does HTTP at the moment. Please let us know if you see anymore issues.

Thanks for the fixes! :)

DDG does have an API for the goodies, but not for the search results because they come from a variety of sources, some of which don't allow sub-licensing.

Seems like you could have a search API for the sources that do allow sub-licensing. But I'm not sure putting search into an API would be a good way for DDG to gain revenue.

What are the ways to gain revenue using the website DDG uses?

I think you totally misinterpreted your parent comment, and read sarcasm where there was none!

My bad and apologies, not being a native English speaker does tricks at times. :(

Don't worry, that problem hits us native speakers quite often

I think if you plan on responding, it works best to assume sincerity. That leads to more interesting conversation over the long run.

It also helps teach people that sarcasm is not a real substitute for wit.

Sarcasm can be an excellent expression of wit, but it has do be done correctly. That's particularly difficult to do in text.
