DuckDuckGo Private Browser

DuckDuckGo

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 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 online without being tracked. 

Block Most Trackers Before They Load: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection exceeds what most popular browsers offer by default. 

Enable Built-in Email Protection: Block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses.  

Automatically Enforce Encryption: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by forcing many sites to use an HTTPS connection. 

Protect Your Privacy in Other Apps: Block most hidden app trackers in other apps day or night, and prevent 3rd-party companies from invading your privacy with App Tracking Protection. This feature uses a VPN connection, but is not a VPN. It works locally on your device and does not collect personal data. 

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. 

We feature many protections not available on most browsers, even in private browsing mode, including protection from link tracking, AMP tracking, and more.

Ratings and reviews

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!

The issue was resolved rather quickly. Search is working again. 10/31/24 It's been great for sometime however after today's update, I can't perform searches. I tried uninstalling/installing, but it didn't help, and now I've lost my bookmarks, favorites, and tabs. Please fix this. 07/11/20 Review: I'm a fan, but something went wrong with recent updates. Search no longer works. Please fix this.

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.
