How It Works
Search Protection
Search without being tracked.
Other search engines track your every search, from where you go to what you buy. We don't track you. Ever.

Web Tracking Protection
Stop creepy tracking from Facebook and Google.
DuckDuckGo's powerful tracker blocking, in our browser and extension, stops trackers and creepy ads before they even load, evading hidden data collectors and speeding up websites.

Email Protection
Intercept and remove email trackers.
85% of emails sent through Duck Addresses contained hidden email trackers before we stripped them out. Email Protection zaps most trackers and forwards email to your regular inbox so you can read in peace.

App Tracking Protection
Block app trackers, day or night.
Over 96% of popular free Android apps we tested allow other companies to invade your privacy, like using your location to map everywhere you go. Stop most of their spying and take back control on Android!

It's a myth that companies need to track you to make money.
DuckDuckGo has been free to use since day one, and private search ads have kept us profitable for nearly a decade. When you search for “car” we show you a car ad — it's that simple.

DuckDuckGo is an independent Internet privacy company that aims to make getting privacy simple and accessible for everyone. Our free web browser for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows lets you search and browse the web, but — unlike Google Search and Chrome — we don’t track your searches or browsing history, and we block other companies from trying to track you, all by default.
