Description

Tired of being tracked online? We can help.      DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials comes packed with best-in-class privacy essentials and makes browsing Safari even faster.    Block Tracking Cookies — prevent most 3rd-party cookies from tracking you as you browse from site to site.   Escape Website Trackers Before They Load - we automatically stop most hidden trackers (3rd-party scripts) from loading, which prevents companies from collecting and using any personal data from these trackers.  Our cutting-edge tracker blocking technology – called 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection – goes above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default.   After you install our extension, you’ll be asked to enable Tracker Blocking and the Privacy Dashboard within Safari. While the extension doesn’t include DuckDuckGo Private Search, it is built into Safari as a default search option. Enabling all three gives you seamless privacy protection.    Privacy, simplified.   Note about our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection following DuckDuckGo ad clicks: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Protection goes above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default, but we’re constantly working to make it more comprehensive. Currently, if an advertiser wants to detect conversions on their own website for our private DuckDuckGo search ads, our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection will not stop bat.bing.com requests from loading on the advertiser’s website following DuckDuckGo ad clicks, but those requests are stopped in all other contexts. This is because DuckDuckGo private search advertising is in partnership with Microsoft. As part of that partnership, viewing ads on DuckDuckGo is anonymous and Microsoft has committed to not profile our users’ ad clicks.   Read more about this and our Tracking Protections at https://help.duckduckgo.com/privacy/web-tracking-protections/    You don't need to wait to take back your privacy. Join the millions of people using DuckDuckGo and protect many of your everyday online activities with one app. It's privacy, simplified.   More About DuckDuckGo  • About Us: https://duckduckgo.com/about/  • Privacy Newsletter: https://duckduckgo.com/newsletter  • Privacy Policy: https://duckduckgo.com/privacy/  • Open Source Code: https://github.com/duckduckgo/duckduckgo-privacy-extension

  • Offer customer to delete safari trash.

    Safari is trash and personal information hacking tool. Apple is currently facing a court lawsuit for its alleged monopoly practices. The company's control over developers and infringement on consumer rights has raised concerns. Moreover, Apple's collection and storage of personal information under the guise of security, while assuring consumers it would remain on their devices, has been called into question. Additionally, Apple's interference with former employees' future endeavors has come to an end. It is crucial to ensure that Apple is not subjected to further attacks.

    been using duck duck go for yrs. was gr8! now whatever changes/updates were done it's become a real pain in the butt! Blocks websites and apps that I need to be working and/or installing for my laptop to work; and other applications. It apparently is jow part of Safari do it does automatic blocking of installs. Still using it; but really need it to be 'fixed' again only for the better!

  • Difficlut to Find iOS Support

    Overall the app is good but trying to contact the DDG support team is very difficult. I clicked the support link but it's just articles and my question is not in there. Also no way to email support. I'm trying to transfer all my passwords and bookmarks from my Mac to my iPad device. The setting are very different from Mac and iOS and iOS does not seem to have that option. Is this even possible? Please help. Thank you

    Used to be a good search engine that helped prevent spamming and maintin some privacy. It is now its own spam engine, constantly splaying self promotion with every search.

  • Not Trustworthy

    They are in partnership with Microsoft and allow Microsoft trackers on third-party sites due to a search syndication agreement. Additionally, they sell your information to Microsoft. Do your research. You'll find a history of DDG violating public trust. It's not that hard to find on the Internet.

  • Constantly Quits

    It constantly quits unexpectedly. If this problem can be remedied, I will gladly reintstall it. But until then............

  • Disappointing

    Due to some of the changes this company has made, I am not sure that I trust or feel comfortable using this app. I will still use the search engine in Safari because it is my only option. I don't like the other choices.

  • Problems Abound

    My main complaint about DuckDuckGo is that at my place of work, healthcare, IT & S have installed a program that will throughout the day delete all your cache and history. It does not matter which browser you use. Which means all your setting are reset. Clearing the Cache and History cleans out everything, none of your setting will be saved. And our is clwaned out it seems almost hourly. This is not an issue with other browsers. But they get cleared and cleaned also. But their settings are 1 click changes.

  • Supposed to block Google pop-ups, but doesn't

    News this week is that the DuckDuckGo extension now blocks the "sign in with Google" pop-ups. So installed it, but it isn't blocking them.
