Duck Duck Go Toolbar Description

A great Firefox add-on that blocks useless webpages. Duck Duck Go Toolbar blocks 42 Million useless Web sites (with nothing but ads) and lets you more easily use our search engine (duckduckgo.com), which omits blocked domains from search results. Duck Duck Go partnered with The Parked Domains Project (ivegotafang.com), who identify parked/spam domains, to develop this toolbar. Blocked sites are replaced with block pages (see preview pictures) where you can choose if you want to go back, proceed anyway, search, or go to a suggested alternative (when available). Duck Duck Go Toolbar is the perfect tool for fighting typosquatting.Duck Duck Go Toolbar currently does two things. First, it helps you more easily use our search engine, Duck Duck Go.Second, Duck Duck Go Toolbar saves you from 42 Million useless Web sites! The useless Web sites are those with nothing but ads. If you're like most people, you've been to many of them from either search results or by slightly mistyping Web addresses, e.g. yotube.com, facebok.com, turbotx.com, twitterr.com, arthritis-expert.com, etc.At best, these sites are a complete waste of time. At worst, they involve pop-ups, scams, and who really knows what else? Anyway, our toolbar saves you from them. Check out the preview pictures for some examples.Duck Duck Go partnered with the Parked Domains Project to develop this toolbar, which is a project that identifies parked/spam domains. These blocked domains have also been removed from our search results. For the full list of sites blocked, check out their Web site at http://www.ivegotafang.com/When you go to a blocked site, a block page comes up where you can choose to go back, proceed anyway, or search. In addition, our search engine provides alternate site suggestions where available (as shown in the preview pictures), e.g. 'Did you mean youtube.com?' instead of yotube.com.If you proceed anyway to a blocked domain, that decision is remembered and it will no longer be blocked (during that browser session). You can also report a blocked site as useful (i.e. a false positive), at which point the toolbar will ask if you if you want to add an exception for that domain. If you add an exception then that domain will no longer be blocked, even across browser sessions.There are preferences (shown in a preview picture) where you can add additional domains to block or specify domains to never block. You can also change the function key that auto-hides/shows the toolbar. Finally, there is a button you can use to report useless Web sites that are not blocked (labeled 'Report Useless Site'), which helps us and The Parked Domains Project improve the blocking system.
