- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13718356, 7 years agoInformation is power. I am not a digital native, rather a digitalo immigrant, but I don't want ignorance to be my excuse for not standing up for my personal rights to privacy. DuckDuckGo have made it easy to get out of the way of the bulldozer that is google. Thanks.

- Rated 5 out of 5by marcelo alfaro, 7 years agoi just like not to be follow around the web :) seeing the same shoes ads every time i search for something in the web is boring, tiresome and frankly shows laziness from the advertiser... the ads are poor because of the track system i think... if they want to sell us something at least take some risks with the ads... be more creative! don't you think?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13658260, 7 years agoIt would be helpful if this plugin could be configured to not run on certain domains. For example, as a web developer/marketer, I'm often in Google Analytics, but the GA site doesn't work when this plugin is running.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the review and comment about not running on specific domains. This feature is already available by clicking the extension's icon in the browser bar, and toggling the "Site Privacy Protection" option. Perhaps it's not clear enough, however, so we'll look into how we can improve this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13657994, 7 years agoEin sehr gutes vertrauenswuerdiges Programm. Allerdings sollte / kann die Arbeitsgechwindigkeit noch gesteigert werden.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Gina Robertshaw, 7 years agoI've been using Duck Duck Go for a long time, and ANY search engine (or website for that matter) that helps protect my identity is a necessity on my list. Fortunately, I haven't had any of the problems using Duck Duck Go that a few people reported (but noticed you corrected in connection with the websites involved). I must say that I disagree with the person who said blocking advertising trackers and ads destroys media revenues and forces businesses to become even more invasive. Most of us check out at least one--but usually more--websites in search engine results--so we'll definitely see ads on the websites we visit. Also, even before using Duck Duck Go, whenever I searched for something I almost never looked at ads on a "search results page" anyway--I only looked at the results for the information I was searching for. I also think if most businesses behaved in an upright manner by not allowing third party tracking, we wouldn't have to be so afraid of being tracked; but as it is, we do have to be concerned about this. One additional point...most people I know also use additional protection like No Script and/or other similar apps, which also helps protect our identity. So I'll keep using my Duck Duck Go!!
