DuckDuckGo school search pitch timeline

TechCrunch’s November 4 report describes DuckDuckGo’s outreach to schools following Google’s announcement of default-off controls for K-12 student accounts. DuckDuckGo’s existing organization guide explains managed Chrome and Chromebook search settings; this changes address-bar search rather than Classroom, Drive or Docs. The report is evidence of a competitive pitch, not verified school adoption or a newly launched no-AI search service.
