Description
DuckDuckGo is a free browser that provides comprehensive online privacy protection in a single app. Unlike many major browsers, DuckDuckGo has strong privacy protections enabled by default, including a search engine that doesn’t track users’ search history and more than a dozen other built-in protections. Millions of users choose DuckDuckGo as their preferred browser to protect their everyday online activities such as searching, browsing, and emailing.
Feature Highlights
- Search privately by default: DuckDuckGo offers built-in private search, so you can search the web without worrying about being tracked.
- Block most trackers before they load: Our protection against third-party trackers goes beyond what most popular browsers offer by default.
- Enable built-in email protection: Block most email trackers and use @duck.com addresses to hide your existing email address.
- Automatically force encryption: Force most websites to use HTTPS connections, protecting your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers.
- Protect your privacy in other apps: We block most trackers hidden in other apps, day or night, and prevent third-party companies from invading your privacy with App Tracking Protection. This feature uses a VPN connection, but it is not a real VPN. It runs locally on your device and does not collect any personal data.
- Evade fingerprinting: By preventing companies from collecting information related to your browser and device, it is more difficult for them to generate a unique identifier for you.
- We provide many protection features that most browsers cannot achieve, including effective protection against link tracking, AMP tracking, etc. in private browsing mode.
Everyday privacy management
- Please use the flame button to clear your tabs and browsing history immediately.
- Turn off cookie pop-ups and automatically set your preferences to reduce cookie usage and maximize privacy.
- You can specify your privacy preferences through the Global Privacy Control (GPC) built into our app. The purpose of GPC is to help you automatically exercise your right to opt-out and let websites know that you do not want them to sell or share your personal information. Whether it can effectively enforce your legal rights depends on the laws in your region.
