★★★★★ "Atrocious! The fireproof this website function does not work at all. Passwords and settings for sites that you have fireproofed and not actually fireproofed. This ends up you having to save and store passwords all over again!!" - Bogdan

there is no privacy with dog, because although I tried to delete it ai ,if refuses to disappear, explain that!!
Another app that buckled to the ai slop
You've gone out of your way to make this app worse with each update. Having to click on a link 12 times to get it to open then waiting for it to slowly load is crazy. Can't use this app anymore, you've ruined it. now when it's blocking trackers the screen flashes and flickers. It's a garage app now.
will not play youtube minimized

Changing my rating due to DuckDuckGo making is impossible to access Advanced Settings on the App / Widget. Making a user friendly product should be at the top of the priority list just under function. Companies making their products harder to use, or deleting settings and options for users - is a deliberate agenda - that takes away user access and rights to control their data.
Atrocious! The fireproof this website function does not work at all. Passwords and settings for sites that you have fireproofed and not actually fireproofed. This ends up you having to save and store passwords all over again!!
The latest update enabled my location in ddg settings! Not safe or private then is it! Stupid app
worked well at the start but now it won't load and I uninstalled it, reinstalled it and it still refuses to open and closes instantly!
2nd time downloading in a few days. android / Samsung A7 lite. rinse, reuse. it seems to work well the 1st day of down load. 2nd day different slightly while like clock work, the end of 2nd day... I wanna say "manipulated". however, for all I know, Mr Duck himself could have this standard on devices coincidentally that I end up on. and 2 days standard. I would love to screenshot with anyone that would like to prove either theory's wrong
too restrictive rather go back to Google search and do no harm.
It works alright but often has excessive security errors that constantly and arbitrarily block file uploads for no apparent reason. It also often closes your window if you leave for one second, losing all your work.
blocks function on 3rd patry apps, hard to figure out how to turn VPN off or make exceptions for VPN Needs better clearr interface for that
