      Went to root out all the useless "partner" search engines (which by default user cannot get rid of) and was rather surprised what is this UUID in default_partner_content.json - is this a tracking ID through which "partner" search engines track you?

            @grim4400 said in UUID for partner search engines:

            UUID

            See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier. The id is to just differentiate the search engines by more than their names. That id isn't for tracking you.
