DuckDuckGo
Reviews and Complaints

I searched for info on how to renew my Eurpean Health Insurance card. This is a free service. When I searched, the top of the list is a websitecalled EHIC card. This is not an official site but appears to be one . In fact they are a company which offers the service of applying for a card on your behalf at the price of £27.

This is effectively a scam.

Out of interest I searched also on Google and note that this company does not appear.

By allowing this (probably not quite illegal) misrepresentation on your search engine you are complicit in taking members of the public for a ride.

The site should be taken down.

I can't even sign into my account because my followers keep blocking me. So how are you supposed to help me if I can't even sigh in? I'd like to drop my account if you can't help me. Your supposed to stop these people that are following me a d you aren't. I would like the names of my followers so I can turn them I to the police. Today is Friday the 19th. [protected]@gmail.com

I’m having trouble getting an email account with DuckDuckGo. Love the browser. I was given an email account by DuckDuckGo , but it failed to work . What am I doing wrong? Do you have a help program yet ? How do I contact you ? [protected]@apple.com. I was told my message was too short. [protected] I want an email account with DuckDuckGo. I provided photos of me my daughter and her wedding day. Pictures of nature, plants, wilder flowers to show who I am and what I want. I hope this is long enough. I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to get an email account for 3 months

When using DuckDuckGo and trying to access My Verizon, I keep getting the message SSL_ERROR_RX_UNEXPECTED_SERVER_KEY_EXCH The only way I could find to reach the Verizon website was to switch to Microsoft Edge! I have had the same problem with several other web sites, What do I need to do to access web sites using DuckDuckGo? I chatted with you earlier and was sent to another site with a $!.00 charge! I am not paying to have a problem with your web site corrected when I can cancel DuckDuckGo and use Edge!

Your search seems not to recognize the minus sign. That’s fine if that’s the intention of its design, but we should be told rather having to continue scratching our heads on the apparent tradeoff of privacy for having Amazon show up in every goddamn search despite my attempts to exclude it.

There’s a reason, I’m sure. This is not an accident.

I’m going with Google. It’s hardly perfect but it’s damn sight better than what you’re offering as regards this issue.

Please tell me why you block legitimate sites like Tryit product testing? I'm not able to submit my review of a product because you have prevented it from co.ming up. Thr tryit site error comes up tgat reviews cannot be submitted because of you. I don't want to uninstall ddg just because of thus. Your ad blockers block everything including the good sites!

I run a business here in Pace, Fl 32571, and sitting at my own desk at my office, if I search my business type, I don't even show up in your lists ... I am a computer repair service and when I search computer repair near me, I do not even show up ... I have been in business here since 1994, and if I go to google.com and do the same search, I am all over the page ... Please fix this situation or I will be forced to stop recommending your browser to my customers ...

Thank You

Hello, I am a longtime DDG user on both my win computer and IOS device.

I like DDG, BUT, every couple of weeks my settings get reset automatically:

1) Turns on all advertising options

2) Turns off "open links in new tab"

3) Turns on DDG installation, stats reporting, privacy reports, and short cut keys.

Clearly those are your default settings, and WHY?

While Duck Duck Go advertises itself as the "private" search engine, the default settings for Ad's is turned on and prioritized to display at the top of the returned URL's from the search. Then, every 2 or so weeks, whamo, the settings reset to default and one has to set them again.

This is the behavior of a predator search engine, not a benign one.

I have sent 3 or 4 complaints to DDG over the past year, and never received a reply other than the regular resetting of my settings. Thank you

Regards

I had a duck.com email address. My G-Mail account was suspended and then restored and since then my duck.com email address has not been forwarding any emails to my personal account. I have emailed support and tweeted but no response, very frustrating as they don't even have the courtesy to acknowledge my problems.

I was a big fan until this happened, what's going on?

I had two problems this week. One ( 7/30/22 at11:31am) I was trying to change an automatic monthly order before it shipped. After changing it and updating it, it deleted the changes 3-4 times. I finally called their customer service and had them change it. They asked if I used DuckDuckGo and they said other users experience problems when using your browser.

Another problem is with another monthly subscription for a different company ( 8/1/22 7:44pm). They don't recognize my email and I cannot get into the account. At this point, all I know to do is switch back to my previous browser and see if the problems go away.

I use DDG on my laptop (no issues) and also on an Android Smartphone, where I am repeatedly hacked on my Android by kirototukam.com which is somehow able to turn off my McAfee VPN, open up DDG and insert this URL into my browser. This subjects me to various threats about the security of my system, quoting erroneous statements about my internet behaviour which are distressing to me. It then invites me to install a product claiming to clean my 'phone of these supposed viruses which is available on Google Play. These spurious threats, however, are not detected by either McAfee or Malware bytes. I dread to think what malware will accompany this download were I tempted to install it.

Meanwhile, you provide no facilities to block internet sites, only some vague expectation that this might soon be forthcoming.

Until you can assure me that this threat has been neutralised, I plan to wipe DDG off my Smartphone. Also, I think it is incumbent on you to look into this issue further and report Google as being complicit in this FRAUD.

every day i read fox breaking news everyday its highlighted as if i had searched it yesterday today [protected] i type in news and my highlighted page is gone i scroll to next page again gone i had to type in (fox breaking news) to get the page does this mean you have sold out to the left and no longer a viable search engine, do i need to change it if i wanted to be force fed bullcrap i would use google ,again i thought this search engine was non bias non political i choose fox because i can`t stand what democrats have done to this country and other media outlets are just a right hand of the liberal dems i want truth not lies and propaganda i am a homeowner about to be homeless because of the current administration taxes to high economy in shambles i have to go without days before the end of the month i can barely afford internet. whatever you changed in your algorythm its not working.

ps. 149mil people voted 80+81=161 how do you do your math?if they would audit the truth would shock the american people. ch

If you enter "Art Quill Studio" in DuckDuckGo search engine you do not reach the url site "https://artquill.blogspot.com" instead it goes to secondary sites such as Pinterest and other sites that are not the primary URL. This does not happen if you employ Google as your search engine. Our company - Art Quill & Co Pty Ltd - education division is Art Quill Studio .

To Whom it May Concern

We are a legitimate political party registered in Australia. We have contested at 4 elections in the last 6 years.

However, it has recently been brought to our attention that when you enter our party name into DuckDuckGo search engine, in 3 different ways, our webpage does not come up. Why is this please?

If DuckDuckGo have restricted us from being found, that we would like to know why? It should be left to the people to decide on whether they wish to vote for us and not DuckDuckGo to repress us based on their own personal preferences.

Searches for example:

- IMOP

- IMOParty

- Informed Medical Options Party

None of them come up in the search engine. Wikipedia and Facebook were amongst some of the searches, but not the webpage. And the webpages that do come up have no similarities to this name, except for i-mop on one of the searches.

Unable to search Abraham Lincoln or other historical figures. #GoWokeGoBroke.

My Samsung LGG pad F 7.0 tablet was fully able to listen to clips at brighteon.com until yesterday. Now the clips get a large X when I try to play them and a message that "The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features that your device did not support." Another Samsung tablet and my iphone 7 have no problem playing the same clips. How can I fix this?

There is a mugshot picture on a webpage that was deleted because of proof of innocence. Yet on duck duck go the mug shot picture still shows up here

This is defamation of character please remove it immediately.

Thank you

Even though I love that you block spammy sites, your program lacks in a lot of things. I signed in to my Walgreens account and some of the pages will not open, just a blank page. And I know that it is duck duck go because I signed in incognito and the pages came up.

This has not only happened with Walgreens but a lot of other sites as well!

Today I tried several times to access the Hollister Clothing site. They are my contacts. I keep getting Access denied on this server. What is going on? This has also happened on several other sites. The error message on those sites say IP add not found. I have accessed these site for years and suddenly, I can't. The latest with the Hollister co was today at 9:59 AM central time

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.hollisterco.com/shop/us?" on this server.
