tho a very handy Extention but I encountered a problem with the DuckDuckGoogle extension recently where it prevented DuckDuckGo from displaying any search results in Firefox. After disabling the extension, DuckDuckGo worked normally again. It seems that the extension is interfering with DuckDuckGo’s search functionality. It would be great if this could be fixed so that users can switch seamlessly between DuckDuckGo and Google without any issues.

Excellent and simple! Unfortunately it seems to break my searches sometimes when using DuckDuckGo (no results at all) Still, thank you for your work!

Is DuckDuckGoogle Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

DuckDuckGoogle requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

DuckDuckGoogle may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
