Duckduckgo Privacy essentials problem

Hi guys. So I've had Duckduckgo privacy essentials for a while now and it always worked in a way that it blocked all tracking requests and it always blocked third party requests on all websites. I guess that's the proper way it should work. A few days ago I've noticed when I click on the addon, that it doesn't block tracking requests nor third party requests on any website. All it shows is "Encrypted Connection" and I have Site privacy protection on. I've tried going in it's options but I didn't find anything there to help me get it back to it's previous state where it blocks the above mentioned. Am I missing something? Was there some kind of an update that changed the settings of the addon? Any answers will be appriciated.
