Just started using the chrome extension and love it! Thanks!

I see more of my users coming from DDG, and it’s exciting to see the growth, and then this release. I’ll start using it more regularly instead of only using it to see cleaner search results for marketing purposes. **Curious: would DDG ever consider creating an extension eco-system, or an email app?**

@nassaraf thanks for checking it out. We hope that this is the main extension needed to get privacy essentials. We have no immediate plans for other complementary private services like email though they aren’t off the table either.

Can we all just stop and appreciate that the screenshots show the carrier as "DD&G"? 😂

Awesome new release - previously my search of choice on my MacBook Pro, now I am looking forward to trying out the Android app

It’s very similar to Firefox Focus on iOS but the approach to displaying trackers is different. It also has more detailed info on TLS of each side. I’m curious to know how would it be possible for DDG to review every website’s privacy policy and assign it a rating?

@chiancheng we are working with Terms of Service Didn't Read (TOSDR) to rate website privacy policies. You are right that it isn't possible to rate all, and not many have been rated to date. We are going to work with them to dramatically increase the number rated, and start with the most trafficked sites, and also prioritize other sites that participate in the system.

As this is more focused on privacy, rather than blocking advertising, would you consider this extension, paired with AdGuard would be a great solution for privacy + adblocking? Or would you say this extension is unnecessary if you are already running AdGuard, as by the time the extension runs, AdGuard would have already done the same plus more blocking.

I can't live without !bang commands

Useful, reliable, tech-oriented

Search engine

Use DuckDuckGo. Use !bangs.

Pros:

Isn't Google.

Cons:

Is still a centralized reputation system, which (theoretically) allows for censure.

Now my search engine by default !

Pros:

- Privacy privacy privacy !

- Now support French (was about time...)

- Nice looking website, funny name

Cons:

- The search algorithm still requires a lot of work
