2023-05-26	Paweł Samselski	Best privacy extension out there
2023-05-09	isalllifesucks bestrong	不喜欢把搜索直接切换到DDG,主页没有搜索框显得很丑.
2023-05-08	Franz Bammer (harakiwi)	Seit 5 Jahren keine Option die Suchmaschine auszuwählen. Schlecht. Ich mag den Service, aber lasst mich ddg eingeben wenn ich woanders suchen will.
2023-04-29	Memesios 10	it used to work fine but now it stays grayed out and when i click it, it's just blank
2023-04-28	Kévin Turmel	Superbe extension, cependant depuis les dernières versions, DuckDuckGo bloque des urls alors que celle-ci ne sont pas des trackings, faisant que certains sites deviennent inutilisables. DuckDuckGo bloque les urls de certains serveurs d'API de microsoft, comme Azure APIM par exemple. Il est également impossible de désactiver l'extension pour localhost !!! Malgré que celle-ci indique que les urls locales sont bien désactivées, DuckDuckgo continue de bloquer les urls sur localhost ! Même si j'ajoute 127.0.0.1, celui-ci bloque toujours localhost et 127.0.0.1 Cela fonctionne bien sur les urls non locales (comme les serveurs de production) une fois ajoutées dans les paramètres de l'application. Il reste cependant que l'extension bloque des urls faux positif ! Cela se produit que depuis 2 semaines/1-2 mois max
2023-04-26	Josh Klotia	it's such a good web browser
2023-04-18	Luke Eros	I like this extension a lot for its blocking capabilities but I DON'T like that it forces me to use ddg search engine from the address bar without the option to change it!
2023-04-07	Sergio Penagos	Muy buen buscador.
2023-03-31	Trina Holden	It won't let Zoom connect with Facebook. When the extension is enabled I can't go live on Facebook from Zoom. If I turn off the extension, it works fine.
2023-03-30	Mahadevan Subramanian	This DuckDuckGo extension blocks genuine sites like my.cigna.com that caters to a lot of people for their health insurance information. Multiple critical assets like "/public/digital-experience/js/common.js" are blocked unnecessarily and if it is blocked functionality of the website is affected. There is no customer support option to relay these concerns.
2023-03-25	mark astley	For some reason I'm now getting adverts or spam emails when i am using social media. WHY?????
2023-03-16	Fredrik Johansson	DuckDuckGo är en av världens bästa krypterade och säkraste sökning stället som finns.
2023-03-14	co mo	forced to use ddg as search engine, no way to cancel it except off the extention. what a suck way .
2023-03-10	Shiva Chronos	こいつを有効にしていると、Tくじや、dくじが引けなくなる。引けないというか、ページが表示できなくなります。なぜかサイトにアクセスできない時があって、管理者に問い合わせてください。とのメッセージが出て、原因を探したらこいつが原因でした。効果は実感できないのに、デメリットだけ実感させられるのはストレスなので、アンインストールします。オフにすれば表示できてくじを引けますし、おそらくサイトごとに設定を変えれば、使えるように出来るのかもしれません。が、その設定方法も分かりませんし、面倒くさいので、無くていいと思った次第です
2023-02-27	foursplays games	A search engine that does not track my privacy good job duckduckgo
2023-02-26	Sal Celli	Lo uso principalmente per avere un'informazione a 360 gradi visto che google censura i risultati delle ricerche
2023-02-25	슬애기	Censored search engines and always inaccurate results.
2023-02-24	Михайло	Please add the Ukrainian region. Add ukrainian language.
2023-02-23	Stan Derksen	Forces to use the DuckDuckGo search engine. I just want the email settings and not the search engine. Until this is fixed, the extension is pretty much useless to me, hence the 1-star review.
2023-02-20	고양이색	기능의 편의성은 좋습니다. 하지만 한국어는 따로 지원이 안되는 거 같아보입니다.
2023-02-19	Lord L Tannhauser	Forever duckduckgo
2023-02-16	Philippe Morange	Wanted to use email protection from DuckDuckGo, but the extension forces me to also use their search engine. I only want the email protection, not the search engine function, but can't get one without the other... so uninstalling the extension and looking for another email protection provider...
2023-02-14	Gwendolyn Mccullough	开了这个插件，经常会有DNS失败问题，返利网站也跟踪不到返利了！！！怎么想都想不出来为什么，坑啊！
2023-02-10	Silas Yan	DuckDuckGo isn't a good name, how about named DuckDuckbing. I don't see any different from Bing. All you got is preventing Google track. And forces you to set DuckDuckGo as default browser. How dare you!!!
2023-02-10	Tahir Immac	Nice
