Description
Tired of being tracked online? We can help.
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials comes packed with best-in-class privacy essentials and makes browsing Safari even faster.
Block Tracking Cookies — prevent most 3rd-party cookies from tracking you as you browse from site to site.
Escape Website Trackers Before They Load - we automatically stop most hidden trackers (3rd-party scripts) from loading, which prevents companies from collecting and using any personal data from these trackers. Our cutting-edge tracker blocking technology – called 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection – goes above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default.
After you install our extension, you’ll be asked to enable Tracker Blocking and the Privacy Dashboard within Safari. While the extension doesn’t include DuckDuckGo Private Search, it is built into Safari as a default search option. Enabling all three gives you seamless privacy protection.
Privacy, simplified.
Note about our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection following DuckDuckGo ad clicks: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Protection goes above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default, but we’re constantly working to make it more comprehensive. Currently, if an advertiser wants to detect conversions on their own website for our private DuckDuckGo search ads, our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection will not stop bat.bing.com requests from loading on the advertiser’s website following DuckDuckGo ad clicks, but those requests are stopped in all other contexts. This is because DuckDuckGo private search advertising is in partnership with Microsoft. As part of that partnership, viewing ads on DuckDuckGo is anonymous and Microsoft has committed to not profile our users’ ad clicks.

Ratings and Reviews
Perfection
Ok before installing this extension do this.
Go to the sky news website select and article scroll down until you get to the bottom of the article, then notice all the spammer links articles you have to scroll past until you get to 3 links to news information then another massive band of spammer links.
Now install this extension and visit the site after you enable it fully.
You'll notice the difference and why this rating is called 'Perfection' that site is now usable as the crud has been removed and it is now an effective news site agian.
Extension problem
Having been a long time user on my laptop and my tablet it was the first thing i installed on my Macbook but was stopped in my tracks by the Privacy Protection system in OS Catalina, this prevents the extensions from being activated in the browser
i hav searched online and on the developer website to no avail, i have found out that disabling SIP might allow them to be activated but as this is an essential part of the OS security protection it needs to be enabled so this is not a real fix
this is a real pain as i know from my other devices what an essential app this is.
Amazing!!
Another user wrote "Perfection" and I couldn't agree more! Sky News, Daily Mail to name but a few now work without the constant barrage of advertisments, and better still, these sites can no longer share my history!! Love it!!
