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.

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.

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!

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!

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}}

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?!

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.

getting this issue - Generate Private Duck Address - broken, same address all the time. There is no sense in any other feature.
