How to set DuckDuckGo.com as a default search engine in iOS

Dan Uff October 10, 2021 0

For those of you who don't know, http://www.duckduckgo.com is a search engine like Google.com that does not track where you go after you leave the site. They take user's privacy very seriously, and it is the search engine I use inside my iOS Apps.

Here's how to make it a default search engine on iOS.

Open Settings > Safari > Search Engine.
Select DuckDuckGo.
Go Back.
Exit Settings.
That's it.

Now when ever you request a search engine inside of iOS, it'll default to duckduckgo.

How to make Safari remember passwords on Mac

Dan Uff October 9, 2021 0

Let's face it, passwords suck. You have to have one password for one website, another for another, and so on, and so on, and so on! You try and keep a notebook of them, but what if someone got a hold of that notebook? What if Safari can not only remember your passwords, but also sync them between iCloud devices? Well....It can on both Mac and iOS. This article will cover how to set it up on Mac.

When you first use Safari, it'll ask if you wish to save passwords. Clicking YES will enable you to do the below.
Open Safari.
Go to Safari > Preferences.
Click on the Passwords Tab.
Enter the Administrator's Password.
You can now view and/or edit any saved password on the list.
That's it.

Scaled Down ‘Apple TV+’ App Now Available on 2016 and 2017 LG Smart TVs

CompuScoop Staff October 7, 2021 0

Apple has started making a scaled down "Apple TV+" app available on select 2016 and 2017 LG smart TVs. The app is appearing on LG's content store in several regions including Germany, Poland, and the Nordic countries, and its existence is confirmed in an LG support document.

First spotted by FlatpanelsHD, the app interface looks very similar to the standard Apple TV app, but it only allows owners of the older webOS-based TVs to watch TV+ content. The iTunes Store and Watch Now tabs have been removed from the top navigation menu, leaving just three options there: ‌Apple TV+‌, Search, and Settings.

The fully fledged ‌Apple TV‌ app, which is available on select Samsung, LG, and Vizio TVs, allows users to stream TV shows and movies from ‌Apple TV+‌, access à-la-carte ‌Apple TV‌ Channels and their iTunes libraries, as well as buy or rent more than 100,000 shows and movies from the iTunes Store. The same services can also be accessed on select Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices.
