Hey, DDG engineer here. Sorry about the issue, that’s super annoying. I want to get this fixed, but I’m having trouble reproducing the issue - navigating to the link in the parent comment seems to work as expected for me. Any chance you’d be willing to provide a few repro steps so I can track down what’s going on? Namely: - which browser you’re using and version - extension version - when it’s happening. Does it only happen when you click a link from another site?

Thanks so much for your time, and for sharing the issue.

Well, turns out I'm no longer able to reproduce the issue either. I just turned DDG Privacy Essentials back on for https://cs.opensource.google and I was able to view the site just fine.

Back when it was happening (maybe ~1 year ago?), I was using the latest versions of Firefox and DDG Privacy Essentials and it ocurred even if I went directly to https://cs.opensource.google. I had confirmed back then that when I turned DDG Privacy Essentials on I got "Permission denied", but with it off I was able to view the page.

I'm on the latest verisons of Firefox and DDG Privacy Essentials now. Seems it is no longer an issue in the latest version(s).

Thanks for following up! Appreciate it. We’ve been investing quite a bit of effort over the past few months into tracking down and understanding issues like this that are caused by our various privacy protections, so it’s nice to hear that things are improving.
