I don't think so in Chrome, no, though we are actively trying to find a way short of forking the extension, and if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to reach out to me. However, we do suggest generally to switch browsers if privac

Thanks for the suggestion -- duly noted.

We are trying to find ways to make that work. Right now though, all of these apps and extensions are open source, and we would welcome contributions.

We don't feel we can give anything an "A" until TOSDR vets the privacy policy, and unfortunately they don't have a ton of sites vetted yet. However, we are committed to working with them to dramatically increase the numb

All of this calculation happens on your device, and is not handed over to us. Additionally, our privacy policy is to not store or collect any personal information at all: https://duckduckgo.com/privacy

This is unfortunately the way Chrome works right now. If you revert search settings they disable the whole extension. We are actively trying to find a way around this behavior.

Yes they are all completely open source.

Thank you so much! We really appreciate the support and are glad that you're enjoying the search experience. This announcement should give you more privacy protection when you leave our search results pages.

We are actively exploring about how to incorporate vpn/proxy technology in while still maintaining the seamless experience.

We had to soft-launch early in Firefox because of the change in Firefox 57 of how extensions work, though were still getting out the kinks and preparing it for the rest of the platforms.

This has been a long-term struggle to get right, though I really see the light at the end of the tunnel and think it may come sometime this year, hopefully sooner than later. For others who may not know though, we do have last month -- drop

Can you please elaborate as to the issue -- I'm having trouble understanding exactly what is going on. If it is easier, you can email me directly at yegg at duckduckgo.com

For Firefox, you need to use their plugin system -- there should be an addon just for those e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-ht... On privacy, yes, -- that's our privacy pol
