DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection by DuckDuckGo

Rated 1 out of 5
by Firefox user 15151704, 4 years agoAfter DuckDuckGo has also sold itself and filters content, as well as forwards user behavior, it's just scrap. You can also stay with Google, they have the better search algorithms.
Don't get confused with the statements that they won't do it. After all, their payment also depends on users using the site. The fact is they have been caught and are no longer trustworthy. The recension you wrote for yourself doesn't negate that either. Do you think we are stupid?!

posted 4 years agoNeither of these claims are true. We don't censor news and, unless legally prohibited, you should find all media outlets in our results. Let us know if you're seeing differently. On our privacy protections, we don't track you, there are no 3rd-party trackers in our app, and we do restrict 3rd-party Microsoft scripts on sites you visit.

- Rated 1 out of 5by What???, 3 days agoI see no point to this since we have uBlock that's not restricted like on Chrome browsers. Adding AI only makes this worse.
Overall, I'm not happy with FF in 2026 and I understand Mozilla is going to redesign/refresh FF to (try) to win users back. It sits at the bottom of browsers for desktops — then again, desktop browser use is on a major decline anyways. - Rated 5 out of 5by AlgoStorm, 11 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by American chestnut, 14 days ago"Optional" AI summary is on by default. They think changing your search to a "noai" domain is a suitable work around. No it's not, we should not have disinfo brainrot on by default.
- Rated 5 out of 5by OldSoul, a month agoThis addon ALLOW you to add websites to exceptions. Commenters who claim otherwise are either lying or bots.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Pax Ahimsa Gethen, 2 months agoI didn't even realize I had this extension until I was troubleshooting not being able to see the comments section on a site I frequent, a problem that just started a couple weeks ago. When I disabled the extension, I could see the comments section again, but a lot of ads started appearing on other sites I visit that apparently had been hidden by this extension.
I tried to explain this to someone at the site with the comments section, but they weren't very helpful. So for now I'm just toggling the extension off for that site and then back on again for other sites. I wish there were a way to turn this extension off per-site as there is with Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection. - Rated 5 out of 5by Rifat, 3 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Regina, 4 months agoTook me a bit getting used to. But once i learned about "Filter Bubbles" in some other search engines, I paid more attention. Fast and easy for me to use, yes. But above all, I trust DDG with my privacy.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19638715, 5 months agoGood so far, recent update on the DuckDuckGo end of things changed some stuff with their AI. Will see how that goes, still 5-stars either way because there it is.
