- Rated 5 out of 5by Gina Robertshaw, 7 years agoI've been using Duck Duck Go for a long time, and ANY search engine (or website for that matter) that helps protect my identity is a necessity on my list. Fortunately, I haven't had any of the problems using Duck Duck Go that a few people reported (but noticed you corrected in connection with the websites involved). I must say that I disagree with the person who said blocking advertising trackers and ads destroys media revenues and forces businesses to become even more invasive. Most of us check out at least one--but usually more--websites in search engine results--so we'll definitely see ads on the websites we visit. Also, even before using Duck Duck Go, whenever I searched for something I almost never looked at ads on a "search results page" anyway--I only looked at the results for the information I was searching for. I also think if most businesses behaved in an upright manner by not allowing third party tracking, we wouldn't have to be so afraid of being tracked; but as it is, we do have to be concerned about this. One additional point...most people I know also use additional protection like No Script and/or other similar apps, which also helps protect our identity. So I'll keep using my Duck Duck Go!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13337649, 7 years agoStates it blocks advertising trackers but actually outright blocks many ads. This destroys media revenues and forces businesses to become even more invasive.

- Rated 4 out of 5by PatheticCockroach, 7 years agoI had this installed in a bunch of my old Firefox profiles so I eventually checked it out before removing it.
It's probably an interesting extension for the privacy-illiterates who can't be bothered to install more than one privacy-related extension and couldn't care less about what happens under the hood. But its incredibly minimalist interface makes it very hard to understand what it really does, so I feel much better protected using my usual Ghostery + uBlock + HTTPS Everywhere + Smart Referer + ScripSafe.
Of course, I'm keeping DDG as my default search engine though ^^
@previous review author: Startpage still uses Google under the hood (it's basically an "anonymous" proxy towards Google), so IMHO DDG is way better as it doesn't feed Google data. Startpage can still be interesting when you really really want to use Google but still want it to be slightly more private than the normal way of using it. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13589155, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13585096, 7 years agoIn fact, I'm wondering which of DuckDuckGo and Startpage is the safest. What's the difference between these two?
- Rated 5 out of 5by 四天王寺, 7 years ago「DuckDuckGo」は、Google や Yahoo!、Bing などと同タイプの「検索エンジン」です。
公開当初からの愛用品です。
「プライバシー保護」は最大の関心事なので、
検索エンジンは、「DuckDuckGo」に限定しています。
DuckDuckGo は Tracking などの集積から生み出される「トレンド」とは、一線を画すので、便利さ優先のユーザーに見向きもされないようですが、アドオン「uMatrix」で、Google、Yahoo!、Yandex の人気の検索エンジンを使用した際での「Requests」を調べてみれば、その Tracking とクロスサイトリクエストの多さに驚かされるでしょう。
DuckDuckGo を使用したことで、検索件数が減るわけではありません。
当アドオン「DuckDuckGo Plus」は、検索ペインを「URL バー」に追加します。
「プライバシー保護」に少しでも関心のあるユーザーは、利用されることを強く推奨します。

このアドオンを使用すると、インターネットがどこにあるかにかかわらず、お客様の個人情報をシームレスに管理することができます。このアドオンは、トラッカーのブロック、スマートな暗号化、DuckDuckGo のプライベート検索など、ウェブの検索とブラウズの際に自分自身を守るために必要なすべてのプライバシーの基本を提供します。結局のところ、インターネットはあまり気味が悪いはずがありません。あなたがオンラインに値するプライバシーを得るには、ブラインドを閉じるほど簡単です。
広告トラッカーをブロックする - トラッカーブロッカーは、EasyList の技術を使用して、訪問したサイトで広告主があなたを追跡するのを止めます。インターネットはちょっと不気味です。
スマートな暗号化を使用する - サイトでは暗号化された接続を使用できるように強制し、HTTPS Everywhere の技術を使用してデータを保護します。
検索履歴を非公開にします。他の検索エンジンは検索履歴を追跡します。 DuckDuckGo では、あなたを追跡しません。
主要なトラッキングネットワークを避ける - 主要なトラッキングネットワークは、より多くのウェブサイトに存在します。つまり、より多くのインターネットであなたを追跡できます。私たちもそれらをブロックします。
プライバシーを一目で理解する - 私たちのプライバシーグレードは、私たちのプライバシー保護が適用される前後に、サイトがどのくらい信用できるかを示します。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13566224, 7 years agoconvivialité en espérant que vous ne suivrez pas les impositions comme google et la propagande des nos données

posted 7 years agoHi and thanks for the feedback. I've passed that on to the team. Issues can also be reported in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/duckduckgo/firefox-zeroclickinfo/issues
UPDATE: This should be working now. You may need to restart Firefox for it to take effect. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13545453, 7 years agoruins layouts of some sites

posted 7 years agoHi. Do you have examples of sites that are broken please, so we can fix it? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13539747, 7 years agoThis plugin crippled my browsing experience. Some sites pegged my CPU at 100% with this extension enabled. A great shame because I'm a fan of their search engine, but it had to go. Browsing is now very fast again.
The only other add-on I use is uBlock Origin. If this occurred because they're incompatible, it's uBlock that wins.
