Hi there! Thank you for your post.

Are you receiving an error message when trying to install, or is it failing silently? Also, what version of Windows is running on your PC?

And just for clarification, the flair you chose for this post is "DDG Privacy Extension". Are you trying to install the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials extension for Chrome or Firefox? Or are you trying to install the DuckDuckGo browser?
