I just Duck duck go app In the apple store. Is that the same as adding it to your current browser?

[deborahspooner]

brilliant. Somehow Norton Safe Search had come back on as my search engine. Probably me. I needed to put it back on and Matt helped me to do that. Plus he explains things very well and is not fast which I have noticed a lot of people explaining things do. Thank you

Fine it is understood that free service has a catch somewhere. Out of curiosity how do DDG earns to run company? Who funds it..

Does making duckduck go your search engine hide your browsing history and which websites you visit from your ISP

[thisguy]

but its an extension isn't there a way to have it directly?

I'm on safari. I can't find the link to settings anywhere. Because your browser in in German, it doesn't looks like mine in English. :(

I like this, but how do i turn it off when i want to use another search engine???

[nlrenzo]

2:40 does it mean DDG can access / has access to your accounts or account information? And psswords etc?

Edit : same with browser tabs, can they legit see what you are doing on each tab?

I can't open links in YouTube comments any more. I've forced off chrome in my app settings and have DDG for my default browser. Do I need to turn chrome back on or can I link DDG to YouTube another way?

Sarah Corriher doesn't share your enthusiasm for DuckDuckGo and says it's just as bad as the other intrusive search engines.
