DuckDuckGo is a free browser that provides the most comprehensive online privacy protection in one app. Unlike most popular browsers, it has powerful privacy protections by default, including our search engine that doesn’t track your history and over a dozen other built-in protections. Millions of people use DuckDuckGo as their go-to browser to protect their everyday online activities, from searching to browsing, emailing, and more.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
• Search Privately by Default - DuckDuckGo Private Search comes built-in, so you can easily search the web without being tracked.
• Block Tracking Cookies While Browsing - Prevent most 3rd-party Internet cookies from tracking you as you browse online.
• Escape Website Trackers Before They Load - Automatically stop most hidden trackers (3rd-party scripts) from loading, which prevents companies from collecting and using any personal data from these trackers. Stay secure with our cutting-edge tracker-blocking technology – 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection, which goes above and beyond what you get in most popular web browsers by default.
• Automatically Enforce Encryption - Force many sites you visit to automatically use an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, which helps shield your data from Wi-Fi snoopers and network onlookers like your Internet provider.
• Block Email Trackers (Beta) - Over 85% of emails sent to Duck Addresses (@duck.com) contain trackers that can detect when you’ve opened a message, where you were when you opened it, and what device you were using. Email Protection makes it easy to block most email trackers and hide your existing address when signing up for things online, all without switching email providers.
• Escape Fingerprinting - Help stop companies from creating a unique identifier for you by blocking their attempts to combine specific information about your web browser and device settings.
We feature many protections not available on most Internet browsers (even incognito browsers), including protection from link tracking, Google AMP tracking, and more.
EVERYDAY PRIVACY CONTROLS
• Tap Fire Button, Burn Data - Clear your tabs and browsing data fast with our Fire Button.
• Signal Your Privacy Preference with Global Privacy Control (GPC) - Built in to our app, GPC intends to help you express your opt-out rights automatically by telling websites not to sell or share your personal information. Whether it can be used to enforce your legal rights (for example, current or future CCPA, GDPR requirements) depends on the laws in your jurisdiction.

Searching
Should be anonymous thank you for the service
Works as intended.
I appreciate that we can search as anonymous all the time.
There is one aspect that I found on the desktop version that I cannot turn off, the fact that all previous search terms and sentences would pop up as soon as I start a new search… That I do not like.
If that can be turned off, then I will give it a 5 Star rating.
Lies.
« Twitter » didnt track me at first use & now they track everything through duckduckgo. Not safe.
Good
I like that is not Google and it’s more private than most sites. Also I am happy you are up after the other days mishap.
Sorry we ran into an error
That’s what you get with this piece of garbage
Love this search app!
I’ve been trying to find ways to minimize predatory information farming practices such as using my browsing info. I heard Joe Rogan mention this app on his podcast & decided to give it a try. I love It! The quality of the search results are excellent. Less garbage sponsored content and more actual, clean info.
I highly recommend this app & I am using it for all my searches.
Fire button
My new favourite thing in the world!
Love DDG BUT…
Using it on my iPhone now and can’t seem to ever load ANY Internet away from my home wifi! REALLY Slow of just nothing… 🤷🏼♀️ Dibt want to go back to safari or Chrome but.. I need to be able to look things up now and then away from home!! 😱
After phone update all my photos and files accessed by this app
Having reported a data breach in email to this browser 6 days later I have had no response from DuckDuckGo. Check your privacy and permissions regularly. They accessed all my photos with no possible way to revoke. I deleted the app.
Six months later burned again. I had reinstalled the app after an update. All appeared fine. No access to anything. Then after another update suddenly all my files were accessed by DuckDuckGo. I did not give any app EVE R permission to view all my files. They are sneaky. Don’t trust this app.
