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
Its not good as firefox extension
Some time not work, need some devlovement.
A wonderful ad and tracker blocker!
In conjunction with Safari's Intelligent tracking protection, I use DDG Privacy Essentials to strip websites of all ads and trackers. I don't like ad blocking as it deprives creators of revenue, but this is a great middle ground. It is far lighter than the dedicated ad blockers and does the work of multiple extensions.
Why is GPC not enabled in Safari Extension?
GPC prevents websites and third parties to sell or share your personal info for marketing purposes under applicable laws in certain strict jurisdictions.
This feature is the successor for "Do Not Track". Unfortunately this feature is not yet available in Safari. But on Chrome, Firefox or Edge extension GPC is present.
