duckduckgo

Is this a safe browser or extension, whichever it is?

Thanks.

You simply select DuckDuckGo as the default search engine in Safari's preferences. The main advantage is DuckDuckGo states they do not collect data on you as Google does.

Yes. It's just a way to use the DuckDuckGo search engine instead of Google.
