DuckDuckGoReviews 51

Terrible browser. Like buying Walmart brand only in a browser. FB is difficult to navigate. Enlarging photos is hard too, Duckduckgo makes it difficult to manage Google images. All the way around it sucks; although it might me ok for someone (like an old lady) who isnt computer saavy who just wants to post casket photos on fb of all of her friends.

I saw this app one day and checked it out and I've had it ever since. It has protected me from a Amazon scam (fake Amazon). The guy was trying to get in my ph and duck duck go would not let him. And the scammer wanted me to go down the street to CVS and use their internet. Well, I didn't go and he tried to call me back. I blocked him and reported it to the real Amazon. So I recommend Duck Duck Go!

Deleted the app. App not as promoted as it fell along the path of censorship in America that has run rampant these last 2 words. Losing trust more and more by the second.

I really wanted this to work and I hoped it would be a good product. Maybe it is. In my case, it just isn't any good. I would be using any of my browsers, Firefox, Safari or Chrome and it crashes each one within 5 minutes of use.
I hope that you have better luck with it. Me, I am over it.

I started using Duckduckgo a couple years ago as a substitute for Google. It was semi-decent. Nowadays It's just plain awful. 3/4ths of my searches end up with nothing but piles of junk results. Even when I wrap every word in quotes, it completely ignores them. I'll put words in quotes, and most of the results won't even contain the words I entered. Sometimes I'll use the "Find in Page" feature of the browser, type in 1 or more of the words I searched for and the only matches it shows are the ones I put in the search query box. Even I go to one of the pages in the results and search for those key words, they don't exist. Nor is anything on the page even remotely related to what I searched for.

I'm tired of doing searches and constantly coming up with BS. What's the point of searching when it's just going to give you junk more than half the time? As I said. It's just as bad as Google. It seems the only time it gives good results is when you're shopping/looking for a product. To make matters worse, it refuses to show me more than 2 pages of results. I've tried to search for help with that... but you know... search returns crap results. I only found a couple pages that mention this.

I can't stand using DDG or even Google. They both seem to love ignoring quotes and showing me what THEY want me to see and not what I want to see. Smh. I don't know what's with all these positive reviews, because there is nothing positive about it. It's just plain horrible.

Is there anything better and actually"useful" out there when it comes to search engines nowadays? Thinking about searching gives me a headache now.

I don't know what to believe. The truth about DuckDuck vs Google will not be found in the reviews. I have noticed that several 1-star reviews have the same "BS" included in their reviews. This makes me believe that the same person is writing the 1-star reviews. So unfair to the real reviews. There are very few in-the-middle 3-star reviews. Typically those are the truth. No one or no thing is perfect. To many 5 stars are rarely accurate. They lie too. I don't think we will ever know the truth. I am going to stay with Google, at least I know they are BS (lol/smile).

You go to duck go they have you enter in all your information then the give you 2 options to enter your information once again it don't save you any money I'm pretty sure they sell your information because how else would they make money I got quoted the same price going thru them as I did going directly to the company I use no savings what so ever

Duckduckgo blocked trackers, advertisements and gave me an encrypted connection. This really is the best browser/search engine I've ever used.

The duck sells your info to google, this can be seen with heavy ad choice ads all the time. Now they are redirecting and editing my search requests over hot button political searches. Total communist B. S!

People on this site claim that duck duck go steals their information and hacks into their account. This is not the case, these people downloaded something off the internet that led to duck duck go being installed. It's probably not a licensed, illegitimate program That infected their computer with Trojan malware. Duck duck go is a very sound company with the intention of keeping your privacy secure. I have been using them for over 2 years and had not had any problems. 100% recommend to people that value their security.

DuckDuckGo is okay, it gives you more results and if you get the chrome extension it will rate the safety of the websites. But it does still run cookies, (although that would be tracking the websites you're on), and... wait, hold up. Why is DuckDuckGo making an extension for google chrome on the GOOGLE CHROME webstore? Google chrome is obviously owned by google, as stated in the name. DuckDuckGo also advertises itself on YOUTUBE, also owned by google. Welp, now google is helping DuckDuckGo. Umm...

This is not a way to escape Google, searches on DuckDuckGo will still influence Google suggestions. Despite claiming "no tracking" they still create multiple cookies and while they may not store the data on their own database servers (which is unlikely but would allow them to defend their claim in court) they are certainly selling or giving access to Google. This is the world we live in, the only way to deny Alphabet and the alphabet soup they service (NSA, CIA, FBI etc...) is to not use the internet.

I tried Duck Duck Go when it first came out and didn't like. I stopped using it. I got sick of Google search when the search answers stood up for the liberals. I would think of something but couldn't remember the details I would google it. If it showed a liberal in a bad light, they would simply not answer it. IF YOU WANT TO SEARCH SOMETHING, GO TO DUCK DUCK GO! It is a great seach engine and will give you ALL the answers; the good, the bad & the ugly for all parties involved. I love it!
