| 2023-12-10 |  | | en | If this review helps, do like it so that others can see it and not see 1 stars which doesn't explain well unlike this a year-long usage review. Update - Nov 2024 - Using for more than a year and it is very useful. For someone who doesn't know how to use or why this is coming from unofficial sources, let me tell you can use it when you select a text on any webpage and left click on the mouse, a pop-up box opens, this is where you get multiple options of what to do. This is also where you can see this addon which says, search with DDG search, not Google or any other default search engine you have in your browser. Most of us know Google is default search engine, so this is helpful, if I am uninterested in doing all searches with Google. For dev, try to provide some clarity to noobie users getting across this addon. Also, bring your addon to edge addon store for edge browser since chrome is nuking their chrome store with MV3 drama, opera addon store, firefox store for firefox and gecko-based browsers like floorp browser and Zen browser and iceraven browser and mull browser. If possible, try to bring same for brave search since I do use brave search for results, not just for chrome but for firefox and edge browsers through their addon stores. Old - Dec 2023 - Simple, useful and helpful. Anybody not aware of this extension or addon does, let me tell you that this add an option to search with this search engine (here duckduckgo) when you select a text anywhere while browsing and right click on it and a small popup opens up where you get option to "Search with DuckDuckGo". This is helpful you want to use duckduckgo as a secondary search engine and not as default or first engine if you are using google or bing or brave search or ghostery search engine as default. Somebody here saying this as malware has simply not used it nor cared to know how to use this. I hope dev adds this extension to edge addon store and firefox addon store too for other browsers than chrome. Also, sam dev has created same for brave search to make it as third optional search engine (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/brave-search/jojedekgcncccnjhilimdojbfnfamkda). I use all of them due to the nature of my work of research and not limiting to google filtered and controlled searches. |

| 2024-03-24 |  | | en | I appreciate how this extension respects my privacy while still providing valuable features. It's a rare find in today's digital landscape. |

| 2023-02-04 |  | | I suspect this is malware. DDG is already included as a search engine by default in Chrome and most Chromium-based browsers. Just switch to it from settings. Don't trust unofficial apps like this. | |
