Extensions and Apps

FireFox Extension

Firefox now has a DuckDuckGo.com extension. This extension improves the quality of your search results by making use of Duck Duck go's search engine. Duck Duck Go gets rid of useless pages, parked and spam pages from search results.

The extensions thus saves you from 42 Million useless Web sites. Here useless Web sites are defined as sites with nothing but ads. If you're like most people, you've been to many of them from either search results in other search engines or by slightly mistyping Web addresses, e.g. yotube.com or facebok.com.

Duck Duck go has partnered with a firm, Ive Got a Fang on a project. The project identifies parked/spam domains. Thus these blocked domains have also been removed from Duck Duck Go's search results.

iPhone App

Duck Duck Go has brought the Duck search to the iPhone. This search app is optimized for the iPhone and is developed in collaboration with, CHS systems.
