DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection by DuckDuckGo

by Sans Undertale, 3 years agoSo.....It would appear that this is getting reviewed bombed by right-wing cultists that expected this search engine to cater exclusive to Putin's political agenda?
Lol.
This isn't even the Search Engine. It's a Tracker Blocker built by the DDG team. This extension itself censors NOTHING, and the search engine itself is only "censoring" insofar that it dropped Yandex (Russian Search Engine) from it's regex filter.
"Google Clone"? Lol. Google tracks everything you search and personalizes search results to monetize you and put you in Filter Bubbles. That's DDG's real strength. It doesn't track users, it doesn't filter users, it only monetizes users through Contextual Advertising, and all of this is and was true before and after the Yandex debacle.
It's laughable how ignorant and stupid people who use FIREFOX of all browsers truly are. It's no surprise that Mozilla has been desperately trying to dumb down the browser if users can't even tell the difference between a search engine and a extension.
I don't even use this extension for Tracker blocking. I've been using uBlock ever since the Firefox Android update that blocks free use of extensions (cEnSoRsHiP!?!?!?!). Even so, I still use the search engine, and both the engine and this extension are still excellent ways to preserve privacy.
If ya'll still wanna get pandered by Brave/Yandex/Google, be my guest. I've been using DDG since 2019, and frankly I have no reason to switch.

- Rated 3 out of 5by minneyb.BITeC/OtisRef, a month agoCertain domains that you are not letting track any of my IP/TCP information. What good is that when they need that information?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18893378, 3 months agoNot as good as Privacy Badger, only reason to use is to know safe website is which is bery handy and reason I will rate it 4 stars, but as a blocker it claims site breakage if some things are blocked which I noticed is often false so use Privacy Badger or another one that blocks even more if you do your reasearch, yes it exists although nobody tells you of course in this day and age only info is mostly lies and ai bots, so if you are human like me than keep searching for it you will eventually find it, it isn't bought out by the evil corps that love to ruin everything once good. P.S. Duckduckgo is fairly junky in terms of finding good results you will end up with tons of stuff that you didn't even search for, better off using brave or presearch because it's not owned by the evil corps that don't care about us except making money.
