DuckDuckGo Private Browser: Privacy-First Browsing Redefined
DuckDuckGo's Private Browser offers seamless and secure internet browsing without tracking your online activities, making it a solid choice for privacy-conscious users.
The DuckDuckGo app offers comprehensive online privacy protection at the touch of a button. With a single free download, you gain access to a private web browser that ensures seamless protection while searching, browsing, and even reading emails.
Securing your online privacy is comparable to safeguarding your home. Simply locking the front door isn't enough to deter determined individuals from gaining access, especially if the back door and windows are unlocked and an extra key is conveniently placed under the doormat. This is why we provide multiple privacy protection features, many of which are not available in popular browsers by default.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
- Search Privately by Default: The DuckDuckGo Private Search feature is built-in, allowing you to search the web without being tracked.
- Block Tracking Cookies While Browsing: Prevent most third-party cookies from tracking your online activities as you browse.
- Escape Website Trackers Before They Load: Automatically stop the activation of most hidden trackers (third-party scripts) to ensure that companies cannot collect and utilize your personal data. Our cutting-edge technology for blocking third-party trackers (3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection) surpasses the default protection found in most popular web browsers.
- Automatically Enforce Encryption: Compel many websites you visit to use an encrypted (HTTPS) connection by default, shielding your data from Wi-Fi snoopers and network onlookers such as your Internet provider.
- Block Email Trackers (Beta): A majority of emails sent to Duck Addresses (@duck.com) contain trackers that can detect when you've opened a message, your location at the time of opening it, and the device you were using. With Email Protection, you can effortlessly block most email trackers and conceal your existing email address when signing up for online services, all without having to switch email providers.
- Escape Fingerprinting: Halt companies' attempts to create a unique identifier for you by blocking their efforts to combine specific information about your web browser and device settings.
We provide numerous protections that are not typically available in popular internet browsers, including shielding against link tracking, Google AMP tracking, and more.
EVERYDAY PRIVACY CONTROLS
- Tap Fire Button, Burn Data: Quickly clear your tabs and browsing data using our Fire Button feature.
- Signal Your Privacy Preference with Global Privacy Control (GPC): Our app incorporates GPC, which enables you to automatically express your opt-out rights by instructing websites not to sell or share your personal information. The ability to enforce your legal rights (e.g., current or future CCPA, GDPR requirements) depends on the laws in your jurisdiction.
A note regarding our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection:
Our 3rd-Party Tracker Protection exceeds the standard protection offered by most popular browsers. However, we continually strive to make it more comprehensive. Presently, our protection does not prevent bat.bing.com requests from loading on an advertiser's website after clicking on DuckDuckGo ads. It is important to note that this is specific to the partnership between DuckDuckGo and Microsoft, and viewing ads on DuckDuckGo remains anonymous as Microsoft has committed not to profile our users' ad clicks.

You don't have to wait to reclaim your privacy. Join the millions of people who use DuckDuckGo and protect many of your everyday online activities with a single app. It's privacy made simple.
