DuckDuckGo New Tab gives you a new tab for DuckDuckGo.
User reviews
no dark mode!
This is an unofficial Extension which hasn't been updated in 2.5years -- unsurprisingly it's broken.
The official DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Extension includes search search from new tab functionality, is open source and regularly updated. This one is closed source and doesn't work.
Opens new tab as DuckDuckGo but the search box is not active. What a waste.
Safety
Risk impact
DuckDuckGo New Tab is relatively safe to use as it requires very minimum permissions.
Risk likelihood
DuckDuckGo New Tab may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
