Following Google's increasingly bizarre behaviour in the realm of privacy and having had my Google+ account cancelled in the 'real names' debacle I needed to find a search provider I could trust. DuckDuckGo appears to offer results that are as valid as any other provider and as none of my search criteria are collected I know that it can never be mis-used (by accident or as part of corporate policy). This add-on simply appends the DuckDuckGo search to my list of other providers without burdening me with any other clutter or un-wanted additions. The result is that I can still search the web just as effectively as before and I can do it knowing that I'm not paying for the functionality with my personal privacy.
