This app keeps refreshing tabs that have been fireproofed causing me to lose queues and even an entire FBI report the other day. Fix it or I'm gone. This happens no matter which device type I'm on. I'm over it.

★★★★★ I don't know what you guys changed around with this past update but it's broken BAD some websites freeze right in the middle and you have to reload the app .

★★★★★ This app keeps refreshing tabs that have been fireproofed causing me to lose queues and even an entire FBI report the other day. Fix it or I'm gone. This happens no matter which device type I'm on. I'm over it.

★★★★★ After the app updated today, now I can reply to any posts on social media or click any links in the browser.
★★★★★ The new address bar tanks frame rate when it shrinks or grows. Huge regression. And it seems like every couple of months, the app adds a new service that I don't want and can't disable. The UI is becoming filled with…
★★★★★ Since the update to DuckDuckGo version 7.241.0, when I enter text into a webpage's search box, search suggestions appear, but are positioned behind/under the virtual keyboard.

★★★★★ Now I search on here for something, and I immediately get ads on FB for it.
★★★★★ The UI is becoming filled with ads for their password manager, VPN, and “email protection” service.

★★★★★ Recently, I updated my browser and now every time I touch any other window on my screen my browser comes out of nowhere and becomes full-screen which is 100% not how I ever want it. Can't figure out how to…

★★★★★ I have to relaunch this app frequently after lockups, lag, and even reboot the phone with the SIM card removed in order to get things to be fast and working again.
★★★★★ Every time I get the app and try to watch some videos on the web it is very slow and it says can't reach page try again later with a restricted sign.
★★★★★ Seeing a button that allows you to bypass but that only appears after a loading thing, and loads an additional screen to have to bypass.

★★★★★ The AI here is heavily woke, tries to force a narrative and hides factual information to position a fake narrative.
★★★★★ I have sync disabled in settings—this button is useless dead space.
★★★★★ This app is worthless now because of AI can't even search up a image on the internet don't waste your time downloading it it's useless now

Happy to discover DuckDuckGo, which I’ve found very useful and a wonderful alternative to the other one where privacy seems to be an issue. It took me a little bit to adapt, different format, but now conduct 80% of searches through DDG.
Keep the address bar in one place, or make it more efficient. When scrolling, the address bar transformation makes kills the frame rate.
Like most people, I started looking for web browsing alternatives when simple browsing became a maelstrom of ads, trackers and just adding to the growing mediums in which to scam me if I simply wanted to do something trivial like buy a new pair of shoes. After one year of using DuckDuckGo, scam calls have been reduced nearly 80%. Fraud occurrences on my financial statements are few and far between. DuckDuckGo isn’t the “hero we deserve”, but they are the “hero we need” right now. In the modern era, for my money, DuckDuckGo is the ONLY internet browsing platform presenting the internet in its purest form. Combine with NordVPN for added protection.
Your data will explain to who ever you answer too, I was only using your, go ahead and try it out for a bit and see if you like it, the service you pitched me to try was only used for 15 minutes before I cancelled it because you decided not to help me set it up. You told me it was a 7 day free trial but I didn’t need 7 days, just 15 to 20 mins because you have horrible manners. Don’t lie just to get a sale
Always incognito, allows tab deletion at any time easy, runs fast, and actually has OPTIONAL AI. I’m home.
Same category, earning about as much.
Apple Search Ads this app ran in the last 90 days, from Apple's public ad repository.
Apple only publishes ads shown in the EU (EU Digital Services Act), with a 7 day delay. An app that advertises only outside the EU shows nothing here.
