Excellent for my browsing needs. I never get slowed down, so I can look up whatever I need quick and without hassle. Fully confident when using it and twice as productive than when I used another browser. I'm glad I tried it so long ago and never looked back. it's the small changes that add up to a better, no nonsense, life experience. Its the speed and lightweight feeling that I'm really stoked on. My eyes don't have to dart all over the screen to find what I'm looking for anymore.
Reviews for DuckDuckGo Browser, Search, AI
difficult to import bookmarks from chrome. no email widget either. what the heck? was able to import passwords. but not able to import bookmarks. this app needs tons and tons of work. not liking the experience so far. not very user friendly to say the most. maybe deleting everything soon. I will have to think about it. let's see if developers will even email me back. I severely doubt it.
Okay. So when it first came out, it was great. I'm not sure how well it as far as my information being sold, but who gives AF cause everybody sells it. There's no way of stopping it unless you want a VPN which I don't want, but I can't stand that every time I open something and it automatically saves the last page and opens up a new tab ... you can't just close out, you literally have to x out to get it off your browser, or it saves tab...
They used to have both Bookmarks and Favorites, but they recently removed the option to "favorite" a site. I liked being able to access a site as soon as I open Duckduckgo; not have to navigate in a separate menu to access Favorites- or "bookmarks" now, I guess. 🤢🤮🤮 edit: I did notice "add to home page" in site settings, but it doesn't do anything when tapped. Great job on breaking your app 😑👍
I love this app that blocks hackers and you can search a lot of stuff but not everything . like if you want to do some shopping or certain images of shopping it doesn't show you much of it only two or three pictures. and sometimes it says that certain pictures with things cannot be found. otherwise it works pretty good I still have it on my phone but I think it needs a little upgrading is really good on keeping your stuff private and your personal data
I've used this app for quite sometime, but with the recent updates, and I suspect the "AI" features, the amount of data that normally can be cleared from the app-cache suddenly increases to 50-100 MB, and becomes locked and cannot be cleared unless the data is also cleared, requiring re-entering all settings. Once the app is connected to the internet, additional settings appear that were not present when the app is initially set up (e.g. passwords, Duck AI, etc.). The cycle repeats. Unacceptable
It's no longer an ad blocker. Also, half the time, when I'm browsing the web, for whatever reason, when I try to go back a page, it backs out of the app altogether. Web pages flicker when loading and scrolling. All of my browsers shortcuts just disappeared. I have a feeling the last two problems are the result of Samsung and/or Google fixing stuff that was never broken...only to break things.
The adblock feature is definitely useful for dealing with obstructive ads. But the search engine is missing the option to reverse image search as well as being able to search for info on things by taking a photo of them. ETA: Also the feature for filtering out AI-generated images isn't totally effective. In the few days that I've been making use of this browser on my phone, I've already come across a hard to ignore handful of AI-generated images that were supposed to be "hidden".
Not very good. You go to a site, it doest want to open. You go to one of your bookmarks, it doesn't want to open. Numerous times I had to switch back to Firefox just to open a website that duckduckgo can't open. it's slow as hell, dial up was faster than this browser. The last update was a joke. And now you want to add Ai to this...lol Fix what's wrong before you add something new.
So far so good! No data collecting. No pop-ups, no tracing of my searches, no weird resultant pop-ups in other apps on my phone! Love it! (written in 2021) update: STILL love it. Fast and easy to use, NO intrusions, and now it has an app-tracking blocker feature that keeps hundreds of tracking attempts out of my info across my phone. Love this, so helpful!
