After removing the extension from Safari 12, search Engine DuckDuckGo has returned their privacy essentials extension to Safari 13 for people using macOS Catalina.

What is it?

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials is an extension for Safari that aims to block third-party trackers hidden on websites, such as those used by advertisers, which are used to collect data and build a profile of the user. While the blocker is developed to protect users right after installation, DuckDuckGo advises it is possible to whitelist sites of a user’s choosing, for example, to fix issues with session management for some online venues.

How to install it:

To install the extension, users can download it from the Mac App Store, with it requiring macOS 10.15 or later to function. While the extension isn’t available on iOS, there is a DuckDuckGo Privacy Browseravailable which offers similar functionality.
