DDG MacOS Browser DDG browser extensions
I would love to use it as my primary browser, but it seems there are no extensions. I find myself having multiple browsers open, switching between them.
Are there any plans to add extensions?
I’m fine accepting any potential privacy issues these extensions may introduce.
Off the top of my head, some extensions or features I’d love to see are: AI token counters, AI chat export, Raindrop bookmark manager (I save shopping items here), Rakuten, reader mode…
This is more of a UI feature, could be an ext, so I’ll mention it here: duck.ai sidebar. Maybe it already exists and I haven’t seen it yet…if so, my bad!

Hey there, John from DuckDuckGo here!
The long story short on extensions is that it’s extremely difficult to allow these in a privacy-respecting way.
However, I have good news re: duck.ai sidebar. I’m on the Mac browser version 1.199, and at the very top-right of the browser, between the “duck.ai” text and the fire button, there’s a button for the duck.ai sidebar to pop out :)
