| 2024-09-14 |  | | en | I like the privacy features, but when I enable this extension it prevents 'search with Google Lens' from working in Chrome. And while I don't use search with Google Lens a lot, it's very annoying when I want to and have to go and disable this extension to use it! |
| 2024-09-05 |  | | en | This extension works for most of my ChromeOS activity. Sometimes, I have to switch over to a 100% Google search to find esoteric topics. Otherwise, IT JUST WORKS. Thanks. {{edit - on Linux Mate, DDGo errors out on Chromium}} |

| 2024-08-17 |  | | pt | Depois de muita busca (o buscador e Google Play Store ficaram devendo) eu encontrei: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/duckduckgo-privacy-essent/bkdgflcldnnnapblkhphbgpggdiikppg?pli=1 Só não entendi o por quê do Chrome temer o DDG. Ainda configurando para testa-lo melhor. Espero que o problema do deleta/reinstala, deleta/reinstala não ocorra como ocorre no Crhome. Guardo no pen drive Chrome.EXE no caso de um "acidente" Basta saber como ele vai interagir com as extensões que tenho no meu PC. |
| 2024-08-16 |  | | en | When i visit a site like google, the extension says that NO TRACKING REQUESTS WERE BLOCKED and THIRD PARTY REQUESTS LOADED. I thought that the duckduckgo browser extension was supposed to stop this?! |
| 2024-08-13 |  | | en | the extension is greyed out, opening the popup displays nothing and accessing options menu won't let you change anything. tried with both Edge and Chrome store versions. Clearing data won't do it. Latest Edge beta. |
| 2024-08-09 |  | | en | getting this issue - Generate Private Duck Address - broken, same address all the time. There is no sense in any other feature. |
