DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection by DuckDuckGo
Review by Firefox user 13390522
Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 13390522, 7 years agoI've become a big fan of duckduckgo over the past few years as I've grown more aware of the rampant privacy/security transgresisions that flock with you everywhere you go on the web. I like this extension - it worked well enough, but for me it felt like a bit of a compromise so that more people will use it (which I think is a really good thing in a lot of ways) compared to the mix of privacy/security extensions I usually run. That extra protection comes at the cost of lots of manual feedback/whitelisting/blacklisting to pretty much every new site I got to which is a pain in the ass, and is prone to breaking sites which means I've got to spend more time tinkering with the settings. This extension however, seemed to work well enough out of the box and hasnt created any issues with breaking sites.
If you're at all concerned about privacy, or feel violated by companies watching everything you do on the web and then selling that to whomever is willing to pay for it, but arent wanting to spend anything more than a nominal amount of time to protect yourself than this is a great option.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kelson, 8 days agoKeep in mind that it blocks *trackers*, not *ads*. The main advantage it has over, say, Privacy Badger and newer browser settings is that it detects email address fields and offers to generate a disposable alias (if you use that feature)

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15372037, a month agoSeems like it's working. However, I'm not sure why, but it seems that when adding DuckDuckGo Security & Tracker Protection, it's actually trying to add DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials. The fire button is missing and I've went through several troubleshooting steps to get the full version. It seems like there's an error with how this full version is packaged. I can't get the fire button to appear.
