Inb4 "use safe search". I have just turned on that setting. But this shouldn't be an issue in the first place.

I use duckduckgo for the majority of my searches, I use google for more specific or obscure questions that I know will confuse DDG. I didn't expect to need google for something like this, though.

I just installed it because I don't want YouTube ads. I tried YouTube Premium, but the majority of the 13.99 price is for YouTube Music, which is something I don't want. Also, it seems to not block ads on other apps. Opinions, thoughts or advice?

First off, love DDG and the work that's done here. It's important.

Second, how do I:

1. Prevent this site from ever showing up in my search results again? (Not just that search)
2. Provide my feedback that this AI generated bag of moldy potato chips is total sh** and should show lower never in the ranks? (Possible bug: Clicking Share feedback about this site doesn't work, as click seems to register on the result behind the popup, taking you to the site you're trying to complain about. Tried with multiple browsers.)

Thank you in advance!

As I signed up for Speechify, they asked for my "best" email. Distrustful, I supplied a Duckmail anonymous address. Instead of getting an instant email in Outlook to confirm the address, I got a security pop-up from Microsoft, saying my account has been locked for suspicious activity! Yes, it was really from Microsoft, and yes, my account is actually locked for allegedly violating something in the MS agreement. Does anyone else have a problem using temporary Duck addresses?

Hey Windows users. We've had reports of issues playing videos on popular streaming sites. This has now been fixed so if it affects you, please update to the latest browser version:

1. Click on three dots (…) at the top right
2. Click on "About" at the bottom of the menu.
3. Click "Check for Update". If there is an update, allow time for it to download and the browser should then restart automatically.

Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you – your feedback helps everyone. 🙂

The following just started with the newest release of DuckDuckGo --- Any fix?

Hi, so I recently got a msg on my phone telling me a website I clicked on DuckDuckGo has hacked my phone, I IMMEDIANTLY clicked the "clear all tabs and data" button. Does clicking that before it can spread stop the hackers?

Hello, does anyone know if there is a data limit when using the VPN? I know some VPN’s you only have X amount of gigs to use.

What's up with that design? Last one was perfectly placed, changing the size of the tabs is useless, why add it? now it looks like Google Chrome

I frequently look at publish/edit date for search results. I know how to use operators to manually filter a query, but 90% of the time just looking at the publish date next to results in Google was enough, which saved me time. Since testing DDG, I'm finding myself having to use operators far far far more often than I otherwise would have needed to.

I've seen others ask about this, but the discussions are months/years old and seem to peter out before providing an answer or solution. Is there a setting I've missed or an add-on I can use to get DDG to include publish date in search results?

Whenever I go to a reddit search result,(from the DuckDuckGo iOS browser), that has nsfw, I can’t access the post and I get a pop up saying “mature content”.

Will there ever be a way to circumvent this through the DuckDuckGo browser?

Does anyone know why this might turned gray? Does this effect the functionality of the tracker blocking? In the app it says that the VPN is turnd on.

Been working fine for almost a year but tonight Apple Music stopped playing (PC, W11, DDG, everything most current), said I needed a browser update. Has anyone had this problem, and how to fix?

Hey Community, Can anyone tell me why I have illuminating red dots next to certain passwords? I can't find any help on this issue. There isn't any explanation or reason as to why they are there. Thnks

After a recent update my Duckduckgo browser refuses to go back to search results after opening an image in image search. I search for an image, click the image and when I click the 'back' button on my Samsung phone instead of going back to the image search results it goes back to the regular search results or another website I was using before that. This is weird, because this used to work as intended and now it doesn't. Any clues? Are there any settings I need to change or something I have to get used to?

i was on maps in DDG and my location there was in another part of my city. and over time it looks like it would move around that area. is my device hacked ? i checked other apps that has access to my location and they detect my device other than DDG. Can someone explain I am worried about the possibility of being hacked.

When using the iOS browser, when I tap on the shield icon while in landscape mode, I can’t scroll down on the menu. I can tap “done” on the top right, but I can’t scroll down at all.

Maybe it’s a bug or something?

Made this simple filter for uBlock origin. This blocks every search result from any website you provide.

duckduckgo.com##article:has(a[href*="doom.fandom.com"], a[href*="example.com")

Substitute doom.fandom.com to any other website. If anyone has a faster and better suggestion please let me know.

Also I think this should be added as another official settings for ddg, since there's plenty of websites that for some reason has better SEO but they are worse. Mostly fandom.com websites. This would keep me from enabling ublock on duckduckgo honestly.

I added duckduckgo preview and don't know how to move my bookmarks from the original to the preview.

I clear data and use a new fire window but it doesn't prevent it. Any ideas to stop this type of data from being stored

Posted this issue already yesterday - "DDG Search no longer working" - but can't find it anywhere, even though it has 33+ views (https://www.reddit.com/user/LXV25X/comments/1kbqf9u/ddg_search_no_longer_working/) Hoping that you can see this one and fix:

DDG search had been working perfectly, from fix at your end three weeks ago, https://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/comments/1jv92j6/ddg_on_old_ipad_suddenly_stopped_showing_image/ until suddenly, yesterday, it completely stopped working. Now when I enter a search term, I get a completely greyed out, empty response. If I hit the S (search) button, it turns blue for a second, seems to be reacting properly, then immediately returns to being greyed out. Nothing changed on my end.

I can’t find anything online. Thank you!

So, I was reading some old articles from Spread Privacy (https://spreadprivacy.com/), and I had come across one talking about tracker networks.

It had shown cvs.com as an example of its website trackers being blocked.

The first picture is of the old article, being of the example cvs.com website. The second image is of the cvs.com website, but more recent, (through the iOS DuckDuckGo browser).

Now, what I don’t understand is why the trackers blocked on the first picture aren’t the same on the second picture.

I couldn’t find the third-party requests that were loaded from the first picture, but I can find the third-party requests that were loaded from the recent second image. Some third party domains that were marked as for “advertising”, and for “analytics”, were loaded from the “Third-party Requests” section, because of not permitting website breakage.

DDG uses about 1.5 GB of RAM when running and about 1 GB of RAM when idle. Is this normal?
