DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection by DuckDuckGo
Review by Sans Undertale
Rated 5 out of 5
by Sans Undertale, 3 years agoSo.....It would appear that this is getting reviewed bombed by right-wing cultists that expected this search engine to cater exclusive to Putin's political agenda?
Lol.
This isn't even the Search Engine. It's a Tracker Blocker built by the DDG team. This extension itself censors NOTHING, and the search engine itself is only "censoring" insofar that it dropped Yandex (Russian Search Engine) from it's regex filter.
"Google Clone"? Lol. Google tracks everything you search and personalizes search results to monetize you and put you in Filter Bubbles. That's DDG's real strength. It doesn't track users, it doesn't filter users, it only monetizes users through Contextual Advertising, and all of this is and was true before and after the Yandex debacle.
It's laughable how ignorant and stupid people who use FIREFOX of all browsers truly are. It's no surprise that Mozilla has been desperately trying to dumb down the browser if users can't even tell the difference between a search engine and a extension.
I don't even use this extension for Tracker blocking. I've been using uBlock ever since the Firefox Android update that blocks free use of extensions (cEnSoRsHiP!?!?!?!). Even so, I still use the search engine, and both the engine and this extension are still excellent ways to preserve privacy.
If ya'll still wanna get pandered by Brave/Yandex/Google, be my guest. I've been using DDG since 2019, and frankly I have no reason to switch.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15372037, a month agoSeems like it's working. However, I'm not sure why, but it seems that when adding DuckDuckGo Security & Tracker Protection, it's actually trying to add DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials. The fire button is missing and I've went through several troubleshooting steps to get the full version. It seems like there's an error with how this full version is packaged. I can't get the fire button to appear.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18303128, a month agoduck duck go is great for blocking adds and cookies. but its also its only major draw back if your wanting to watch spicy content it blocks all sites for this content even with filters disabled.
