DuckDuckGo

The super-charged privacy app: web browser, search, email & app protection

DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focus search engine app that allows users to surf the internet safely.

Features:

-- Untracked search: With the DuckDuckGo app, users are able to visit their favorite websites privately. The app will block trackers so they can't spy on users. Besides, All DuckDuckGo searches are anonymous and it never stores your search history.

-- Privacy Grade: Whenever you enter a website, the DuckDuckGo app will generate a privacy Grade rating from “A” to “F,” with A being the safest. Users can check the URL bar to see who is trying to track them and how many trackers have been blocked successfully by DuckDuckGo.

-- !Bangs: Bang or "!" is the shortcut that quickly takes you to search the results of a specific website. For example, you will be redirected to amazon's result page about shoes after typing "!amazon shoes" in the search bar of DuckDuckGo.

-- Burn Bar: Since personal data can built up in your browser, the burn bar can help you close your tabs and burn all the browsing data away.

-- Instant Answers: Similar to Google, the DuckDuckGo app includes "Instant Answers" on the search results page, making it a useful feature for users to find an answer easily.

-- More Features: There are many more features waiting for you to discover, such as bookmarks, dark mode, search safety level, etc.

Search Privately — DuckDuckGo Private Search comes built-in so you can search the web without being tracked.

Escape Website Tracking — Tracker Radar automatically blocks hidden third-party trackers we can find lurking on websites you visit in DuckDuckGo, which stops the companies behind those trackers from collecting and selling your data.

Enforce Encryption — Smarter Encryption forces sites you visit in DuckDuckGo to use an encrypted (HTTPS) connection where available, protecting your data from prying eyes.

Block Email Trackers (Beta) — 70% of emails track you as soon as you open them. Enabling Email Protection is the easy way to block email trackers and hide your address without switching services. Join the private waitlist for the free beta version through the app settings menu.

Protect Your Privacy in Other Apps (Beta) — Block hidden app trackers in other apps day or night and prevent third-party companies from invading your privacy with App Tracking Protection. Join the private waitlist for the free beta version through the app settings menu.

The DuckDuckGo app has the browsing features you expect, like tabs and bookmarks, plus privacy controls you’ll love. Taking control of your privacy doesn't have to mean making tradeoffs.

Tap Fire Button, Burn Data — Clear your tabs and browsing data with one tap of the Fire Button.

Signal Your Privacy Preference with GPC — Built into the app, Global Privacy Control (GPC) intends to help you express your legal opt-out rights automatically. This will tell websites not to sell or share your personal information under future legal frameworks (e.g., CCPA, GDPR) in various states or countries.

You don't need to wait to take back your privacy. Join the millions of people using DuckDuckGo and protect many of your everyday online activities with one app. It's privacy, simplified.
