- Rated 3 out of 5by Larry Parker, pirms 3 gadiemI have had this Firefox extension enabled for months with no problems. A couple of days ago I found that using Firefox I was no longer able to log into one of my financial accounts that I have had for years. This morning I discovered that after disabling the Duck Duck Go extension I was able to log in again.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15932533, pirms 3 gadiemToo many pages comes up white and waiting. I dont thing the search results are good enough.

- Rated 3 out of 5by jres, pirms 3 gadiemLove the goal, not the results forced on me when trying to search or enter a website. Needs improvement when a person has to go back to Google to get quality search results.
- Rated 3 out of 5by johnk860, pirms 3 gadiemLoved it until something changed. Wunderground's weather map blanks out with Privacy Essentials enabled. I see the weather, radar, satillite etc, but no topo or flat map behind it. Its just one app, but the app hasn't been updated that I know of and the problem started a few weeks ago (coincidentally PE was updated 10/21/2020) and I just isolated the effect to enabling PE.
- Rated 3 out of 5by John Harris, pirms 4 gadiemThere is a significant bug in the current version (2020.10.13) that prevents connecting to the internet through captive portal wifi connections while this extension s active, they bring up network errors. That might be part of the intended manner in which the extension functions, but it still results in making the browser unusable in many situations.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12709887, pirms 4 gadiemIt is very nice for privacy and security, but I there are some pages that either break or won't load because of this addon. I would have given it a better review if all pages worked with this, but as it is now... no can do
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16055212, pirms 4 gadiemGute Suchmaschine, allerdings ist der integrierte Trackerblocker der in diesem Add-on integriert ist schrott. Ich habe mehrere Werbeblocker und einen hat mal 17 gefunden, duckduckgo nur 3, deshalb nur drei seterne, sonst gute Arbeit!
- Rated 3 out of 5by CVilleGal, pirms 4 gadiemThis is a perfect example of why I have to continue using google. duckduckgo does a wonderful job protecting my privacy but it does not seem to understand most of my searches which I think are pretty simple.
example: how to mail + zucchini muffins + virginia to arizona
duckduckgo: only got tons and pages of recipes
google: first link was on mailing baked goods, tips, same with five of the first six links.
bing: identical to duckduckgo - literally only recipes
yahoo: identical to duckduckgo and bing (interesting)
yandex: identical to duckduckgo/bing/yahoo
startpage: like duckduckgo privacy but with google results. nice! - Rated 3 out of 5by Jayjay, pirms 4 gadiemThis is a good addon, only problem is that it changes your default browser right away, It would be nice if it could ask you about that first.
- Rated 3 out of 5by LagMonkey, pirms 4 gadiemThe add-on is not working to change my search engine. Please fix this soon.

- Rated 3 out of 5by xerus, pirms 4 gadiemBreaks some HTTP-only website, e.g.
http://y20k.org/escapepod/ - Rated 3 out of 5by Juuzo_K, pirms 4 gadiemI guess this might help, but it made some websites javascripts not work resulting in the website layouts completely messing up. Had to disable this addon for the time being.
