Latest reviews
- (2025-06-10) Shiloh Nelson: The people complaining that it makes DuckDuckGo your default search and you are not able to change it, are either just straight up lying or are too incompetent to figure anything out, because it is simply not true. It didn't even change my default search engine after install, and I checked and I still have the ability to change it to whatever I want.
- (2025-06-08) Dennis Bareis: Makes DDG the default search engine and prevent change, free email aliases are not worth the pain this extension inflicts.
- (2025-05-21) Sh: feature request: direct search for bangs via extension when I query `hi !g`, rather than going to duckduckgo servers then redirecting to google, extension can simply look for bangs(!) and redirect appropriately, this will reduce page loading on client end and reduce unnecessary server usage on duckduckgo end...
- (2025-05-18) J J: This extension doesn't block anything from Microsoft since it has a deal with them, it also doesn't block anything from Amazon either nor anything by Google. It also lets trackers in that Privacy Badger blocks.
- (2025-05-09) Janis Griffin: I'm excited to hopefully get the email protection working. I have read some of the issues that others are having and know this might be an issue for me also. On top of that, what a great concept and to believe that duckduckgo is the only email provider that I know of who is concerned about our privacy and is trying to do something positive about it. Imagine that. many of the other email providers have failed us miserably.
- (2025-05-08) CFD: I do like the fact & idea of using the DuckDuckGo Email Privacy Protection for using & generating Disposable Email Address Domains to protect my real Email Address from Scammers, Spammers & Websites/Companies who I don't particularly trust with my real Email Domain Address being stored in their Servers for my Customer Accounts with them. However, what I have noticed & have been realizing when I send a Website or Company an Email from any of my free generated @duck.com Email Alias Domains that are connected/linked up to my real Email Address Domain, is that they are not properly being delivered/received by any Websites or Companies in their (Inbox) Folder for reading!! Instead, they are all being automatically considered (SPAM) & are being delivered only to Websites & Companies (SPAM) Folder where they are not being seen or read by those Recipients due to fact of that... This is occurring due to the Emails or Reply's from us automatically being considered (SPAM) & then delivered to only to the (SPAM) Email Folders of the Emailed Recipients of Websites/Companies who we send Emails or Reply's to and are therefore, not being delivered correctly or properly to their (Inbox) Folder for reading. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Websites/Companies on the Internet who are checking their Email Accounts for Order related Emails, Customer Questions, Complaints, Inquires, etc. do not usually go through or read Email Messages that are received in their (SPAM) Email Folders for messages that have automatically been considered (SPAM) & placed in their (SPAM) Email Folder by their Email Servers. This is a big issue with the DuckDuckGo Email Privacy Protection Feature as I am finding out & realizing. It's not a good thing & is a big nuisance problem, which is why I am bringing it up here with this long & detailed 1-Star Review to make it clear to everyone who is not aware of this? This clearly has to do with, how the layout of the Duck.com generated Emails are created for us by the DuckDuckGo Servers being, that they all contain at least (2) Minus or Hyphen Symbols in them before the @duck.com instead of just being in a regular random generated @duck.com Email format without any Special Keyboard Characters/Symbols being added or included in their free Private/Disposable Email Address Domains that they generate for us their Customers/Users. This really needs to be more addressed, fixed very soon, & well looked into by the DuckDuckGo Technical Support Team for DuckDuckGo Customers/Users...
- (2025-04-21) kayleigh: It doesn't seem to work anymore. Regular duckduckgo shortcut still does work however. Clicking on the extension produces only a blank box.
- (2025-04-14) Amr Mostafa: I like it so much but i cant use https://safe.duckduckgo.com/ as a search engine now because it in force me to use https://duckduckgo.com/ instead
- (2025-03-25) Yash Patel: It forces you to use duck duck go as default search engine
- (2025-03-19) R H: I have sent feedback, but not sure if I sent it to the right area. I updated Chrome today and now ny DuckDuckGo search bar produces no links or answers. I love DuckDuckGo. Someone help me?
- (2025-03-17) Chroma Studios: Love the extension. It would be great to have an option to offset the icon for filling, as it conflicts with my password manager
- (2025-03-11) perfectly seared ham: Great It works well and nothing really bothers me
- (2025-03-03) Take Some Risk: even after temporary duck email is DE-ACTIVATED, we are getting email of it.
- (2025-03-01) Karan Sahani: hello help me fix error in console Denying load of chrome-extension://bkdgflcldnnnapblkhphbgpggdiikppg/public/font/ProximaNova-Reg-webfont.woff2. Resources must be listed in the web_accessible_resources manifest key in order to be loaded by pages outside the extension.?
- (2025-02-23) Jack Gray (Fixxxer): Latest update disables possibility to choose search provider when performing search. Why? I love DuckDuckGo search, but - let's be honest! - Google and Yandex are still better. Rather than make own search better - let's block the user for alternatives. Bad policy!
- (2025-02-21) Kristina I.: It seems to override the search engine settings no matter what I do. Sometimes I want to switch to another default search engine without disabling the extension (because I use the email feature). Otherwise, great.
- (2025-02-04) Mark E: Tried it for a year, and I've come to notice that the advertising in my DDG search results has become more and more annoying. Probably aligned to DDG now offering a subscription model. Feels like a sell-out. Uninstalling.
- (2025-01-31) *Satan's_Reject*: Search settings always have to be preferably set over and over every time you wipe the cache and search history. That's dumb to me. I don't think your browser is as private as y'all say y'all claim to be. I'm gonna stick with GrapheneOS & Tor.
- (2025-01-30) Troy: Love it Love It. It is working like a charm.
- (2025-01-29) Toren Hohke: Installing the extension changed nothing.
- (2024-12-30) anon1: Fantastic!! just one problem cannot seem to get duck player working.
- (2024-12-12) Junebucket: Slow but Chrome is slow now so dont know if one or both are causing problem. Everything keeps updating but make things worse, including windows update.........that just gets worse too and causes everything else not to work right! Oy Vay!
- (2024-11-23) Derek Matuszewski: Don't like how you can't set it to not control your start page, home page, and search. They need to add more customization options for this.
- (2024-11-11) John Hayles: After installing chrome extension my custom start up page is replaced with Duck Duck Go search page, even though the start up page in settings is still my custom page. I have my own start up page so this makes using this extension a bit of a hassle.
- (2024-10-15) Ryan Richardson: Great App, Great Browser, I would like to have extensions like chrome does but im sure you guys are probably working on it. Keep up the awesome job. Thank you DuckDuckgo
- (2024-10-04) Keith Harty: I loved the privacy features; in fact, I have Duck Duck Go as an extension for my Bing and Firefox browser. The only thing I didnt like is my Gmail and other Google services shortcut in the upper right corner was gone. I had to type gmail in each time I had to check my email!
- (2024-09-14) Derek Gledhill: I like the privacy features, but when I enable this extension it prevents 'search with Google Lens' from working in Chrome. And while I don't use search with Google Lens a lot, it's very annoying when I want to and have to go and disable this extension to use it!
- (2024-09-05) Paul “ScubaMan-1970” Neem: This extension works for most of my ChromeOS activity. Sometimes, I have to switch over to a 100% Google search to find esoteric topics. Otherwise, IT JUST WORKS. Thanks. {{edit - on Linux Mate, DDGo errors out on Chromium}}
- (2024-08-16) Gary Hermann: When i visit a site like google, the extension says that NO TRACKING REQUESTS WERE BLOCKED and THIRD PARTY REQUESTS LOADED. I thought that the duckduckgo browser extension was supposed to stop this?!
- (2024-08-13) Uriele Jonah Haydn: the extension is greyed out, opening the popup displays nothing and accessing options menu won't let you change anything. tried with both Edge and Chrome store versions. Clearing data won't do it. Latest Edge beta.
- (2024-08-08) Luke: DDG has been a great addition to increasing one's privacy, and I applaud their stance on not collecting, storing, using, or selling personal information. Unfortunately, the "generate a private email address" option is stuck with the same private email address it generated a long time ago and will not generate new ones. It just produces the same one every time. Also, the extension is too "all or nothing." DDG breaks certain sites and doesn't allow content like reviews and discussions on other sites. Take a cue from the uBlock Origin extension and allow an easy to use single-click white list for sites.

- (2024-08-05) User Google: Generate Private Duck Address - broken, same address all the time. There is no sense in any other feature.
- (2024-08-02) Jake Speed: I won't surf the web without it.
- (2024-07-30) Sabin Warkentin: This is a great extension. It prevents most of google's tracking and I think it's great. I don't know why people say it has problems. I think it's that their accounts have problems because I had the same problem on because I was using adblocker plus.
- (2024-07-25) MunciNotHere: W! It lets me browse the web with websites im supposed not to see!
- (2024-07-19) lemongrasscap: The emails keep failing to send via the temp ones, so I keep loosing emails. The rest of everything works fine.
- (2024-07-10) libra study: Very good
- (2024-07-08) Marc Ohl: The fact that it replaces the standard Google / Chromium new tab with it's own that you can't disable without disabling the whole extension stinks. Especially since you can no longer set a list of speed dial options like in the stock Chrome experience, only most visited sites. This makes even less sense given that Duckduckgo also encourages you to wipe your history off with some settings for that. Why is there still no option to have a more traditional speed dial open on the new tab page with this extension where you can select bookmarks, or enter a urls to have has clickable buttons like the most visited sites?
- (2024-07-06) tim reeves: getting a loading error
- (2024-07-06) Pritimay Panda: I just want to say Excellent.
- (2024-07-02) rheza 555: Hello, I have been using this for years but recently there are issues relating to google gmail. I can't open gmail and I can't login with gmail. I have some other extensions but disabling this one makes gmail works again. Please fix soon.
- (2024-06-08) Real Solitude: Good addon. breaks some websites like Indeed.com however making it somewhat inconvenient So if you need to look for work, you have to disable this extension now for some reason. Only as of recently has this happened (last few days at time of writing)
- (2024-05-15) Arctic Hawk: No! It's not owned by Google! Hidden third-party trackers lurk on 85% of the top websites. The DuckDuckGo extension blocks most of them from loading. You can see which companies were trying to profit off your personal data in the extension’s Privacy Dashboard. The DuckDuckGo extension forces sites you visit to use an encrypted (HTTPS) connection where available, protecting your personal data from third-parties trying to snoop on your internet activity, such as your ISP. In over 85% of emails trackers found that can detect where and when you’ve opened a message. Enabling our Email Protection is the easy way to block email trackers and hide your address without switching email services.
- (2024-05-06) JUSTINAS ART: Compromised. They were working independently and now Google owns them, like everything else. It is no longer private. Connected to Google. Google collecting data from duckduckgo searches...Still sharing!
- (2024-04-23) your local aviation enthusiast: great extension for privacy
- (2024-04-07) Anon _: Qué maravilla, no eres consciente de lo que nos controlan hasta que lo instalas y de el tiempo que te ahorras con los resultados de búsqueda de calidad.
- (2024-04-01) Dragoș Nechita: Works perfectly on W11. Thank you, DDG Team and folks that help us fight against the Google/Apple/Microsoft monopoly.
- (2024-03-18) Peter: Awesome would recommend! Has email protection, AI, VPN, and of course is an great search engine! Very effective at blocking trackers and scams both in email and online. If you are looking for a search engine/browser that is actually private, here it is!
- (2024-03-12) is sr: Congrats on 15 years :) While having DuckDuckGo search engine come on all my devices homepage was what got me started, then I discovered the @duck.com email address that you could change, direct, and removes trackers. spreadprivacy. com/protect-your-inbox-with-duckduckgo-email-protection/
