Tip:

Ever find yourself typing a search query into Firefox and then later updating it directly in DDG's search box and wishing Firefox would update its box accordingly? Well, here is how:

Download and install the SearchBox Sync addon.
Restart.
Addons > SearchBox Sync > Options



Select Add...



Where the rule is:
https?://([^.]+\.)?duckduckgo\.com+/[^?/]*\?(.*&)?(as_)?q=([^&]+)

Et Voilà!

Now your search box should sync with DDG.

This also works well when you highlight text, right click and select "Search with DDG".

Hi All,

Having looked at some of the Firefox addons on donttrack.us I decided to give some of them a go (by the way, please let me know if you do not want this discussed here). My current setup is:

BetterPrivacy
Ghostery
https-Everywhere
Beef Taco
and I already use Adblock Plus (EasyList + EasyPrivacy)

What I'd like to know is: is this the ideal setup? Or do some of these addons clash with one and other?

Perhaps you could recommend your browser setup. Oh and don't bother talking about Tor; I don't want to discuss proxies.

Any suggestions/info welcome.

Are you having to give these companies more credit?

For all you UK based DDG users: I have created a Firefox plugin that uses the UK parameter and can be found at: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=duckduckgo.com

Have just tested it with IE and Chrome and it works perfectly :)
