Supposedly anti browser finger printing, but actually increased the amount of identifying bits after installation.

This extension will break cloudflare verification, and put you into an endless loop while accessing some website

This search engine and company went down hill fast. They're now censoring search results harder than even google does. I turned off ublock to run this trash and it lets too much leak through. Nothing about your data is private either because they've already been caught selling data to micro$oft

I am trying to remove this and it is IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!

Kills all services running on all .local hosts.

Datenschutz von einem US-Anbieter auf US-Servern, genau mein Humor!

Comparte y permite el seguiento completo con Microsoft

This addon breaks ChatGPT. Site becomes completely frozen, only refresh helps temporarily. If site loses focus, it freezes again. Sometimes even without unfocus.

Some time ago it was an alternative search engine, now they work for the same people as Google and push the same agenda.

Seems like ddg sends data to microsoft.

there is also a report by Rebel News.

It keeps showing the addon notification to install the addon. I dont want to install the addon. I just want to use the search engine, that's it. How do I turn off add-on installation notification once and for all!

woke company like google !!

On Mac OS sonoma, if you sign up the mail protection, it literally freezes firefox making it run with 100% CPU usage.

DDG is worse than Google for erratic & useless results, plus its transparently trying to throw ads at us. Waste of effort.

Mit so was kommt DuckDuckGo sehr spät um die Ecke das erfüllen Adblocker wie uBlock Origin schon seit Jahren mit zusätzlichen Filterlisten. Von daher ist diese Erweiterung absolut nicht notwendig aber sie tut was sie soll.

-- Couldn't get this to attach to any of my browsers. (4 tries)
-- Somehow it got attached to Windows Menu bar? Firefox seems like its blocking this app.
Software seems to becoming more complex...not a good sign.

This extension is currently broken. Attempting to use DuckDuckGo with it will simply fail to load the website.

I really like DDG, but DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials give me nothing but trouble. It says my browser “has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”
On top of it, I find it difficult to only have DuckDuckGo as default search Engine without DDG Privacy Essentials.—Help!

I am a huge fan of DDG and use the search engine as my default. Unfortunately, this plugin appears to be incompatible with duckduckgo.com--it causes a redirect loop and the page fails to load. You should already have most of the features it provides through other recommended Firefox extensions, so I think disabling it is the way to go for now. I also think I was missing a lot of the annoying features because ublock blocked them--lol!

1 star because without warning they changed my browser search engine and I was very frustrated while fixing it. They might have written it somewhere in fine print, but that's even worse.
