Users appreciate the DuckDuckGo Search (Unofficial) Firefox add-on for being lightweight and free of unnecessary bloatware, providing a good search experience that feels independent from large internet companies.

- Users find it good and are generally satisfied with its functionality
- Not tied to large internet industry players, offering a sense of independence
