DuckDuckGo, Duck.ai, & VPN
At DuckDuckGo, we believe the best way to protect your personal information from hackers, scammers, and privacy-invasive companies is to stop it from being collected at all. That's why millions of people choose DuckDuckGo over Chrome and other browsers to search and browse online. Our built-in search engine is like Google but never tracks your searches. Our browsing protections, such as ad tracker blocking and cookie blocking, help stop other companies from collecting your data. While our optional integrated AI features, Search Assist and Duck.ai, are private and never use your data to train AI. Oh, and our browser is free — we make money from privacy-respecting search ads, not by exploiting your data. Take back control of your personal information with the browser designed for data protection, not data collection.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
Protect Your Searches by Default: DuckDuckGo Search comes built-in, so you can easily search online without being tracked.
Shield Your Browsing History: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection blocks most trackers before they load, greatly exceeding what most popular browsers offer by default.
Chat Privately With AI: Duck.ai lets you have private conversations with 3rd-party AI models, anonymized by us and never used to train AI.
Secure Your Email (Optional): Use Email Protection to block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses.
Watch YouTube Videos Without Targeted Ads: Duck Player protects you from targeted ads and cookies with a distraction-free interface that incorporates YouTube’s strictest privacy settings for embedded video.
Automatically Enforce Encryption: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by forcing many sites to use an HTTPS connection.
Escape Fingerprinting: Make it harder for companies to create a unique identifier for you by blocking attempts to combine info about your browser and device.
Sync and Back Up Securely (Optional): Sync encrypted bookmarks and passwords across your devices.
Clear your tabs and browsing data in a flash with the Fire Button.
Banish cookie pop-ups and automatically set your preferences to minimize cookies and maximize privacy.
And many more protections not available on most browsers, even in private browsing mode, including protection from link tracking, Global Privacy Control (GPC), and more.

I have been a DuckDuckGo user since November and really love that it doesn’t use any information to track my activity. I have found some of the information in Search Assist to be very helpful, as well as the links attached in Search Assist. In certain ways, I would recommend this to anyone reading my review.

Latest versions has scroll acceleration. It scrolls extra when scrolling down from the top of the page. This behavior is super annoying. Please at least give us a setting to disable it.

I’ve been using this for years. All the most popular search engines got bought out. DuckDuckGo gives you results.

I feel safer using this browser. My husband uses Google and he has ads show up on all his social media as well as in games he plays computer or phone. I have ad free 😁

It’s difficult to trust this app while it violates privacy with Microsoft. I feel like I’ve been lied to by duck duck go. I hate that and it’s even more disappointing that the developers just don’t seem to care at all. This is a zero star app.

Happy with the browser but the privacy subscription is a scam. While great at finding personal info across data brokers, you’d think they know which sites they can remove it from and how long it takes. Almost no removal progress after months of paid service.

Today I noticed that the period appearing after every word in the browser’s search line is gone. Bravo! That was so annoying. Glad it’s fixed! 5 stars 🌟Previous review: So basically no change. Still getting periods after each word when typing in DuckDuckGo. Nowhere in settings to turn this off. Extremely annoying and the developers know about it but do nothing to fix it
