DuckDuckGo
Reviews and Complaints

I noticed that a lot of search results direct you straight to YouTube. I would like to see Rumble and other sites in your results.

The intro news page had a couple of stories that I knew to be fake They talked about how down and defeated Trump was and then basically how he had lied to investigators about the capitol incident. I knew These stories were obviously false Due to wjo wrote them as these entities were NEVER complementary or accurate about Trump. The Companies were the Washington post, CNN and Bloomberg. Please vet your materials better. If there is one thing this country needs less of is Lies.

I go to your search engine (exclusively), type in DeWalt Tools, two or three different times, NEVER anywhere else. Next time I'm on Google or Bing, BAAM! Dewalt Tools show up.
I send this same message in 5 min. ago, then DuckDuckGo asks, is there any other info? I reply, "What else would you need to know?" The next reply I get was, for $1.00 we will answer that question.
You guys are asking the question, and I should pay for that?

I am very happy using your service. I would appreciate your narrative to be to the center than to the Left. Lately it is noticeable you are more negative reporting or leaning left. I am a republican and I am disgusted by this website. Really your site will come down if you keep supporting far left politicians and stupid unprepared people who want to run this country.

It doesn't have auto correct when typing and when you click the search bar to type it automatically erases your previous search, this thing is a deralict

It seems that online transactions are not being accepted from your browser. I know this, bcz I have tried from other browsers and they work perfectly. I don't know if its the bank not approving your browser or simply the way your browser work from the inside somehow is not suitable for secure payment. Is there a way I can make successful payments with security in mind on your browser? I need to be able to perform these online transactions to pay for stuff, your browser promised superior security to what google have, but online payments not working is just inconvenient. The smart way is to make these payment secure instead of disapproving them or creating settings that goes against bank policies or something like that. You're making your browser inconvenient. Yes google is horrible they spy on me but at least they allow me to pay for my internet subscription successfully!

Duckduck constantly features ads for scam products. This is the latest example under the name of makerealestateeasy.com. Duckduckgo is becoming synonymous with scamming. It really undermines the value of the company.

I searched for image Do 18. Not only did I find the Dornier 18 WW2 seaplane, but many other, non related thing too. One of these was;

This is total porn. I am 61, but imagine if I were 10 or 12 and researching a new model kit! I suggest you look into this soonest.

Also, why the hell must I make an account in order to do this? I do not want an account, and will probably change my search engine now.
This is hardly the way to encourage reports of these things.

DuckDuckGo is my default search engine on my pc, laptop, and smartphone.
On the smartphone I can click on the fire icon at any time and click clear all tabs and data and it's done. On my windows pc and laptop, I don't see that option and it always saves to my history everything I have searched for. How is that any different than Google or others?

I downloaded Duck Duck Go as a search engine because Google has been censoring all sites that go against leftist agenda. I'm 57 years old and I don't need you deciding what websites or organizations I can frequent. I was very pleased with your search engine after I stopped using Google because of their censorship, but now you're doing the same thing! If this continues, I will uninstall your app and quit using your search engine.

I am very happy using your service. I would appreciate your narrative to be to the center than to the Left. Lately it is noticeable you are more negative reporting or leaning left. Please don't turn out like fake news where they falsely make claims or insults that show disrespect. Google executives caught at lunch on a hot mic bragging about completely changing false info into truth or whatever it took to promote their narrative 😡 Please stay straight in the middle by only telling the actual truth. Leave it to us to make our own opinions and decisions🙏🏻👍 Ty for your time.

I asked Which fireworks company was used to write Trump 2020 in fireworks at white house recently? This is not the first time I complained. You used answer my questions. I stopped using Google. Now I find out that Google owns you. My search answers are horrible. I will use Bing search now. Stop being liberal biased.. The last time I asked a question about President Trump, you gave me Oprah and sandwiches. I hate Oprah and sandwich shops. I will use Bing search.

Date of the incident: every time I do a search, choose any date you like
The problem is that although I am searching for written answer to my problem, you invariably present several stupid videos as if that's what I am looking for — frequently they don't even have anything at all to do with what I am searching for! There are options to select all, images, videos, news, but by default you show everything. Why isn't there an option to just show text? That way, I could just select text and eliminate all the annoying images and videos that I don't want.

Le mando como ejemplo lo siguiente: hago una busqueda de "soldado de la patria" en argentina y obtengo una pagina llamada "el guerrillero" de cuba. Sepa ud que un guerrillero NO es un soldado de la patria en Argentina y menos un medio cubano . Así que le recomiendo que afinen su algoritmo de búsqueda. // También he notado que al hacer búsquedas de contenidos adversos al grupo gobernante de este país es infructuoso. Le recuerdo que Argentina aún NO es China y que todavía hay libertad de expresión lo cual no se refleja en los resultados de búsquedas en esta plataforma.

when I do a search the first two items are ads
I thought you were supposed to be ad free
It is annoying and as irritating as being tracked by google
Tell me how I can stop this
Tried to submit this and was told it was too short and unlikely to be considered
Absolutely love corresponding with algorithms or whatever anti human
systems you are using
Am trying to submit this complaint again to see if I have fulfilled big brother's directive

The answers to some of my questions have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with my question! That is when I have to ask Google! And I must tell you, I have Google! I am in Romania at this time, so I understand that it could be hard for your to get all answers correct. However, if Google can, so do you! If you can't function properly in this country, please let me know!

I am increasingly finding the search results are very poor, as if DDG is trying to guess what I'm really searching for and showing me the results from their algorithm and not what I'm looking for. Sometimes I'm searching for a phrase with a keyword and I put the phrase in quotes. The results appear to ignore the quotes and the results are any pages that have a combination of most of the words but not all. Sometimes I put in a search for an uncommon proper noun, and it returns results on a more common word, totally unrelated to my search.

Their search algorithm has gone off the rails, and though I've been using DDG for 5+ years, I'm starting to turn to other search engines. The results here are so BAD.

Every time I search for a political issue all I get are leftists results. Why don't I ever get a right opinion? You are just like google. You are totally leftist and hide opinions from the right. I'm very disappointed because I have recommended this search engine to many people but you are just like google. How do I stop you from sending me all the liberal news and give me some conservative views?

On various pages on CNN.com the page will only partially appear. The article will be cut off at some point - I may get the first twenty lines. When I get towards where the article has been cut off I can see that txt is missing. At this point I'll not now be able to navigate back up the page. If I enter a new URL the browser will not navigate to it and is unresponsive. I have to clear all tabs and data to get the browser to work again.

This is common on CNN but a page that didn't render correctly and caused the above issue may work correctly on revisiting.

Who the hell gave anyone permission to block anything when I am online reading news articles? I do not have a subscription to McAfee. Why are they "testing" pages and blocking "harmful" content. The site was the New York Post for God's sake. Is conservative content a problem for you? Please let me know. I will find another Web browser if that is the case.
