DuckDuckGo for Opera extension

DuckDuckGo is the search engine that doesn't track you. We also have smarter answers and less clutter.

This extension makes our instant answers and other features more accessible when you're browsing in Opera. It is open source at https://github.com/duckduckgo/opera-zeroclickinfo

A toolbar button is also added that gives you easy access to our search box and by extension our !bangs, which let you easily search hundreds of other sites. For example, "!a bags" searches bags on Amazon.

There is also new functionality to bring you instant answers via the address bar and the right-click menu. Your feedback is encouraged!

Our privacy policy is at https://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html and in a nutshell it is "DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information." That means you shouldn't worry about sharing your searches with us because we don't save any personal information that could tie your searches back to you.

It's just about a LINK to the search page, or a BANG to one of the websites you might want to search on.

Nothing to write home about. It's not a spyware nor very useful if you already use custom strings to invoke your searches.

But people like to have buttons and icons... the convenience of having it, that's just about it. I didn't even bother removing this ext. I trust DuckDuckGo.

Sorry, why do I need a browser extension simply to perform a simple web search unless the company who made the extension wants access to my data? I hear so much praise for duckduckgo, then I look and they put a bunch of cookies on my machine. Why? I have no personal settings. What are you recording and why should I use an extension just to run a search? I'm no security expert but I tend to limit who I give full access to all my browsing data. Epecially in a world where I'm supposed to trust Ghostery, despite being bought by an ad company (conflict of interest maybe?), and Web of Trust, who was caught secretely stealing user data? That's not even mentioning all the other popular extensions caught stealing in worse ways, like Stylish. Ever wonder why that one disappeared from the Chrome and Firefox stores? For a very good reason. Maybe I'm paranoid, but it seems a bit strange to me that a search engine requires a browser extension. I only trust specific extensions and, these days, I tend to sit and read the whole damn source code of the extension before I truly put ANY faith in it. This one just seems fishy and useless. I'll stick with StartPage.com, I think. They don't plant a ton of cookies on my machine. I won't even log in to sync my browser settings, etc. I made an account to write this post and I'll never use it again. I wrote a very simple script that backs up all the browser and extension data very far away from the browser automaticaly every day. I don't even have to remember to do it and I wrote it in five minutes. These days, I trust nothing on the web. I won't use any browser owned by a tracking company like Chrome, Chromium or Safari. Only Firefox, Tor, Opera and Brave on occasion. All with the same extensions and all privacy and security related.

I only recently found out that it's impossible to even OWN a copy of Windows. You can pay $350 in some store and you're simply leasing a copy to be installed on one machine only and they can take away your lease anytime they please for no reason. The worst is that Microsoft put in roughly 30 backdoors to allow them to log into your machine and take any data they like and you have no idea they were even there. It's legal, you agreed it to when you installed Windows. Sad, indeed. One of a million reasons I love my switch to Linux. It's so powerful and well controlled. You don't even reboot when you install complex software. If you're a computer nerd you must try it. I recommend using the KDE Plasma desktop environment. It beats Windows in so many ways, even won a best desktop award over Windows and for good reason. It's free, powerful and you can still keep crappy Windows and install it. Try it! OK, I'm rambling. Bye.

Do not use if you use MacOS with a Swiss keyboard. You won't be able to write an @-sign anymore since it's a shortcut for this extension.

DuckDuckGo is already in Opera, just check the settings.

I don't these extra tools, such as finding "bags on Amazon", thank you very much.
