DuckDuckGo Private Browser 17+

Unfortunately they will never catch Google, which makes me sad as a ten year user. USA User and Programmer. First problem is being out of the UK, trying to compete in the US Market. Not even remotely close. Come on guys, I WANT you to succeed!

Honestly you will have to employ far smarter Engineers and Programmers/Coders. Scale 1–10 against Google who I hate and refuse to use? You’re a 1/One. Have to do better guys if you desire to compete in the US Market. If it’s a cost thing, which it always is, consider outsourcing to dark web coders/programmers. Tho known for dishonesty, they will at the very least, get you all up to American 2024 standards. I had to search ten times for the true owner on a HORSE in an American TV series. I never got to the true owner. That should speak volumes to you Engineers. You simply must do waay better. I want you to succeed. We HATE GOOGLE/Bezos! But to be the best in America requires a reality check on how you compete against the known best. Sadly, you’re sorely lacking. Come on UK Engineer’s! I am rooting for you. And have given you TEN years of my valuable time using only Duckduckgo. You MUST CATCH UP guys ok? Love and truths from America…smile. Get a Venture Capitalist for goodness sakes. I really want you to WIN!!

I would consider myself someone who really tries to find the best search engine that is clean, consistent, and has great user protection. I have tried a lot of search engines from Chrome, Brave, Edge, Safari; just to name a few. All of these platforms are not as user friendly as Duck Duck Go in my opinion and don’t make my data privacy and user safety as transparent and easy to use as Duck Duck Go. Having recently jumped on this platform after trying all the others, I can confidently say that I have uninstalled all the other search engines and have solely adopted Duck Duck Go as my main search engine. Beyond just user safety, I am a user that has pretty significant ADHD, meaning that cleaner, direct platforms when it comes to user navigation help me tremendously in staying to task and organizing bookmarks as I progress through the day. Overall, I really have found Duck Duck Go to be a phenomenal search engine in the first month that I have began using it and I honestly won’t go back.

Additional Note: I am an IPad User and this review is based on my experience using the IPad app.

I really do. I’ve been using it for several months now. Unfortunately I am just about at my wits end. Every single solitary page I ever load ever ever ever refreshes after 30 to 60 seconds. Maybe I could handle a refresh after one or two seconds but I will be halfway through logging into something or making a post and Bam it refreshes me and I have to start over. If I were just casually reading different websites maybe it wouldn’t be a big deal but I can’t tell you how many hundreds of forms I’ve had to fill out at least two and sometimes three or four times. Just load the stupid page! I have about learned that I have to wait a good while after every page I load to make sure that it’s not going to refresh me. I get that maybe you’re blocking cookies are trackers and maybe that’s why but it’s extremely annoying to have to start over whatever I’m doing EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Also “feature” or not I really really really hate that “new tab” button. I accidentally hit it multiple times a day. I also don’t like not having a good history back button. Sometimes I lose a page and then I can never go back to where I was and I have to start my searches all over again.
