Use the address bar to search with DuckDuckGo by default
Your default search engine has been switched to DuckDuckGo Search. Now, you can search the web through the address bar or in the extension without being tracked.
Hidden trackers are blocked as you browse
Hidden third-party trackers lurk on 85% of the top websites. The DuckDuckGo extension blocks most of them from loading. You can see which companies were trying to profit off your personal data in the extension’s Privacy Dashboard.
Sites are automatically upgraded to the encrypted version when possible
The DuckDuckGo extension forces sites you visit to use an encrypted (HTTPS) connection where available, protecting your personal data from third-parties trying to snoop on your internet activity, such as your ISP.
Opt-in to protect your email address and remove email trackers
In over 85% of emails, we've found trackers that can detect where and when you’ve opened a message. Enabling our Email Protection is the easy way to block email trackers and hide your address without switching email services.

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.
