Description

At DuckDuckGo, we believe the best way to protect your personal information from hackers, scammers, and privacy-invasive companies is to stop it from being collected at all. That's why millions of people choose DuckDuckGo over Chrome and other browsers to search and browse online. Our built-in search engine is like Google but never tracks your searches. Our browsing protections, such as ad tracker blocking and cookie blocking, help stop other companies from collecting your data. While our optional integrated AI features, Search Assist and Duck.ai, are private and never use your data to train AI. Oh, and our browser is free — we make money from privacy-respecting search ads, not by exploiting your data. Take back control of your personal information with the browser designed for data protection, not data collection. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS Protect Your Searches by Default: DuckDuckGo Search comes built-in, so you can easily search online without being tracked.  Shield Your Browsing History: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection blocks most trackers before they load, greatly exceeding what most popular browsers offer by default.  Chat Privately With AI: Duck.ai lets you have private conversations with 3rd-party AI models, anonymized by us and never used to train AI. Secure Your Email (Optional): Use Email Protection to block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses.   Watch YouTube Videos Without Targeted Ads: Duck Player protects you from targeted ads and cookies with a distraction-free interface that incorporates YouTube’s strictest privacy settings for embedded video. Automatically Enforce Encryption: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by forcing many sites to use an HTTPS connection.  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.  Sync and Back Up Securely (Optional): Sync encrypted bookmarks and passwords across your devices. Clear your tabs and browsing data in a flash with the Fire Button. Banish cookie pop-ups and automatically set your preferences to minimize cookies and maximize privacy. And many more protections not available on most browsers, even in private browsing mode, including protection from link tracking, Global Privacy Control (GPC), and more. DUCKDUCKGO SUBSCRIPTION Subscribers get • Our VPN: Secure your connection on up to 5 devices.     • Access to advanced AI Models in Duck.ai: Chat privately with AI models built for complex tasks. • Personal Information Removal: Find and remove personal info from sites that store and sell it.   • Identity Theft Restoration: If your identity is stolen, we’ll help restore it.   DuckDuckGo Subscription Pricing & Terms   Payment will be charged automatically to your Apple Account until you cancel, which you can do in app settings. You have the option to provide an email address to activate your subscription on other devices, and we will only use that email address to verify your subscription.

  • No AI

    They make the non-“AI” (it’s obviously not actual AI—but that’s what we all seem to be calling it) —search option much more available than other tools. I was surprised how much O had come to rely on the corporate overlords scraping one of our answers and making me grateful to them instead of the rest of us for just putting things out there and helping. Plus the search usually finds information pertinent to my question. Screw AI—but if you feel like selling your soul to the machine—it has an LLM scraper that can feed you your ape knowledge and then put you back in your ape house (it’s a house—not a cage—they promise).

    I like DuckDuckGo more than Google because the Ai is optional but Google’s Ai overview is not. I hate using Ai and if you do as well, get this search engine! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Back when I still had google software in my ecosystem I could always tell when I search with DDG vs google. Today in a world where our lives are constantly being data mined, DDG and some other platforms offer legitimate private alternatives. My life and habits are not for sale! The only thing DDG could do to make me like it even better is to integrate with Proton AG so that my proton pass easily connects to the browser, but since they technically compete on VPN services I doubt I would see that happen. Great platform!

    Picked DDG because they didn’t use ay-eye. But not only is it used, it’ll turn on even after turning it off. Bye!!!!

    So much nicer than Google. You can completely turn off AI search functions. And I know it’s all private! You get to pick a cutie background color for your duck to live in. And there’s a really nice button to delete every tab at once and there been like a million times I’ve wanted google to have that so I didn’t have to swipe through all the tabs to close it ! I think generative ai is terrible for us and our plant so if anyone cares enough to make a little difference for something bigger this is a way to start! Thank you so much to the devs and team at DuckDuckGo for letting people turn off the AI !
