I wonder why not DuckDuckGo. Perhaps Mozilla has a sponsorship from Yahoo.

No, they admitted they ran out of time and just went with defaults of a few things. They have a ticket open to solve this issue already.

Oh awesome news, it's wicked fast and will definitely be my default mobile browser once they solve the yahoo problem.

Ran an identical search in the "new" Focus and in Safari with 1Blocker and set to use DuckDuckGo. Focus with Yahoo search page leads off with 2 sponsored search results, aka ads, which take up most of the screen on my 5s. Safari with DDG has none.

Focus deleted from device.
