- Rated 1 out of 5by MS130, 3 years agoDropped this search engine when it began censoring what would be shown on searches. Shame on you DDG.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Slope Wallet (chrome port), 3 years agoUsed to be my go to browser, fast and best for privacy. Went down the hole when it announced that it was censoring searches... removed the extension and changed my search engine. Really went downhill.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Abundant, 3 years agoDuck Duck GOne indeed! We are all moving to Brave and eventually YaCy. We WILL punish you for attempting to corrupt our freedom. You made this bed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by FFToph Beifong, 3 years agoF you DuckDuckGone. I could tolerate your shitty and inferior algo in return for privacy and non-biased search results, but then you're becoming like Google/Bing with biased search results, so now you're just a shittier search engine compared to them. F you.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Swash, 3 years agoTired of being censored? Duck you DuckDuckGo! Censore someone else. Never again!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Wellerstind, 3 years agoDDG no longer respects free speech and targets civilians for their government's wrong doings. Cannot recommend anything by this company, now or in the future unless their CEO/Founder leave the company. He doesn't believe in free speech
- Rated 1 out of 5by BL4CK, 3 years agoUsed to be my favorite seach engine. But since they started judging what is truth and what is not, what i should and what i should not see, there is no reason to use it anymore.DDG used to be about privacy AND FREEDOM (because you can't separate those two thing).
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10782222, 3 years agoThis site censors search results and is funded by a venture capitalist fund. If I could give DDG a minus rating I would. Don't trust me research it for yourself. There are a couple of search engines on Firefox that are private & not censored: Brave & Presearch.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Jason DiManna, 3 years agoSwitched from Google originally and really enjoyed. Now public statements of filtering or censoring results disappoints me. Let me be the judge of what is fake news!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Screw the Narrative, 3 years agoMoving to Brave. I don't want my searches to be "prioritized" based on someone else's opinion of what's true or not. See Ya.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13997341, 3 years agoAfter years of using it im done whit DDG... "At DuckDuckGo, we've been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation."
- Rated 1 out of 5by Free to Decide 1971, 3 years agoI've been a long-time user and supporter of DuckDuckGo - telling friends and family it's a great alternative to Scroogle's manipulation and data tracking. I created an account today just to write a review and voice my displeasure for DDG's new policy of censorship.
I am an adult with the capacity for critical thinking and judging for myself whether someone has provided sufficient evidence to support their claim. I DON'T need and DON'T want a search provider to cultivate, eliminate, or discriminate the results that show up when I am searching for something.
I can no longer in good conscience support DDG, and will start using a different search provider going forward. They lost my support the moment they decided to censor the free flow of information. Even if they reversed their decision tomorrow, it will take some work for them to earn back my trust and support. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17328013, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by romantic_pessimist, 3 years agoFirst time i review an extension, and it is because it vastly undermined my trust in it. now won't be a major problem for my day to day life, but i'm not gonna embrace and wait till something i might find interesting or useful will be censored.
I'm gonna manually manage my adblock, and privacy setting, even if it suck, i find it essential for my well being to have the most extensive type of freedom i can get - Rated 1 out of 5by Ersultan, 3 years agoПо факту собирает данные о пользователях, влияет на результаты поиска. Шлак! Разрабы пиздаболы
- Rated 1 out of 5by Erolley, 3 years agoNo point in using DDG anymore, it became the same thing as Google, use an alternative instead.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17327004, 3 years agoAI determining what i should see? Duck duck gone to the dustbin of history!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17326333, 3 years agoSold their soul to SJW politics. To the trash with you.
- Rated 1 out of 5by BJSully, 3 years agoAt least Google doesn't hide [anymore] the fact it's nothing more than a political censorship entity. DDG is toast.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13343953, 3 years agoUsed to recommend DDG to people and used it myself for years on all my devices. I have now switched to Brave everywhere. Privacy AND anti-censorship.
There is a false dichotomy that being anti-censorship means being Alex Jones 2.0. This makes it easy to dismiss people's complaints
Facebook censored a peer-reviewed articled published by the British Medical Journal (BMJ), one of the most respected medical journals. Lack of transparency for how something is branded "fake news" is worrying.
The most respected newspapers promoted the "WMD in Iraq" years ago. But I guess propaganda machine is cool when brown kids are killed instead of those bought by rich couple abroad (see news of kids from paid surrogacy stuck in Ukraine).
I am sure an underpaid intern knows better about what is disinformation and what is true.
