Duckduck Go Question
Hello:
I understand that there is no extension for DDG (and I use the extensions on FF, Chrome, Safari) and that I can grant DDG access to 1P ... but is there any security difference between what, say, the FF extension provides versus the method for using DDG? I kind of froze at the message that said that DDG would be able to read everything (but I guess that FF can too!). Thanks
1Password Version: 8.10.30
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: OSX 14.3.1
Browser: Not Provided

Hello @mobius32x! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! To help me better understand the situation I'd like to ask you to take a screenshot of the message that you're seeing and attach it to your reply:
You're correct that DuckDuckGo doesn't support browser extensions so 1Password in the browser isn't available there. However, you can fill logins into DuckDuckGo browser using Universal Autofill: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

Thank you for the screenshot. It looks like you're trying to add DuckDuckGo as a custom trusted browser in the Settings > Browser screen in the desktop app. Is that correct? This is a feature that allows users to add a non-supported browser to the 1Password for Mac app so that the 1Password extension in that unsupported browser and the 1Password desktop app can communicate.
Since DuckDuckGo doesn't support browser extensions, there's no need to add DuckDuckGo as a trusted browser.
Instead, please follow the steps in our guide to setup and use Universal Autofill instead: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac
Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂
