About this app

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 doesnā€™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.

I use multiple browsers, and this one for things I don't need to have open for a while. Which turns out to be most of my browsing. Bye bye infinite open tabs! I'm glad they added the option to have the address bar on the bottom, it spurred me to review it lol. I also like the AI search with different models. And I love the privacy and mission. Glad to support!

I've been using the browser for a few months now & have had no issues with it & after switching it took a little bit to get used to it, (so used to Google) Now, I really like it. BUT .. .. .. after todays update, I've not been able to even use the browser at all! After the intro page shows up it doesn't do anything else. What gives? Also I've noticed none of these reviews have to y feedback, no response from them at all.

The app is junk, I've been having issues of typing in a search and the screen is blank, I contacted duck duck go and asked them and I never got anything back, it worked flawlessly until one of the updates. The other thing I hate about this app, anytime you do research on someone, it gives articles from CNN, politico, BBC. How about independent news that aren't bias. Fox news doesn't come up at all, which is fine with me.
