DuckDuckGo is a game-changing browser app that prioritizes your online privacy like never before. Unlike other browsers, it comes with powerful privacy protections by default that keep you safe from tracking and invasion of privacy. With DuckDuckGo, you can search the web without being tracked, thanks to its built-in private search feature. It goes a step further by blocking most trackers before they even load, providing you with unparalleled protection. On top of that, it offers features like email protection, encryption enforcement, and app tracking protection. With DuckDuckGo, you can escape fingerprinting and enjoy a browsing experience that is truly private and secure.

Features of DuckDuckGo:

* Private Search Engine: DuckDuckGo's Private Search feature allows users to search online without being tracked. This built-in feature ensures that your search history remains private and secure.

* Advanced Tracker Protection: The app goes beyond what most popular browsers offer by default with its 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection. It blocks most trackers before they even load, providing an extra layer of privacy.

* App Tracking Protection: This app not only protects your privacy when browsing but also in other apps. It blocks most hidden app trackers, preventing third-party companies from invading your privacy.

Tips for Users:

* Explore the Built-in Email Protection: Enable the built-in email protection feature to block most email trackers and hide your existing email address. This adds an extra layer of security to your online communications.

* Utilize the Automatic Encryption Enforcement: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by enabling the automatic enforcement of HTTPS connections. This ensures that your sensitive information remains secure.

* Take Advantage of the Privacy Controls: Use the Fire Button to quickly clear your tabs and browsing data. This handy feature saves time and helps maintain your privacy.

* Enable Global Privacy Control (GPC): Signal your privacy preference by enabling GPC, which automatically tells websites not to sell or share your personal information. However, be aware of the legal implications depending on your location.

As of today many websites don't load not sure why .For most of the day nothing loading up or working. Needs a back button as it's actually a good browser , I still hope that this year we will get a windows version, also a built in vpn, and content blocker would help so I could block websites with certain content so I could use it on my children's tech I have to use a different one for t

I use DuckDuckGo for websites I don't want to access elsewhere and want total privacy. But the accessibility of the app is deplorable. Fonts aren't adjusted. No high contrast option. No option for *proper* dark theme - eg using Gmail is all white (in 'dark theme'!). In short: it's a pain to use. I was using it not often, but not anymore. Mind, I already put this suggestion in here in Jan '24, but clearly nothing was done with info. Sadness. Learn abt accessibility from the Samsung Android app.

Been using duckduckgo for a years now and love it. But since they announced the $10 monthly fee option it seems like the browser is really slowed down. I hope they are not crippling it to try to drive users to a $10 monthly subscription. If so, there are other options out there

I do not understand why the keyboard appears once opening the application, maybe I have favorites, the keyboard should appear only when I search for something! After the last update, same problem! You have a big problem with the keyboard, you navigate, you go back to the home page, you hit the keyboard again, it's annoying! 25.04.2024: same problem! no answer!

I've been using DuckDuckGo for years and now with the addition of the Privacy Plus subscription I really love how well it protects my phone and my surfing on the web. It is a very clean interface and allows you to tweak it to your preferences.

Hey DDG, I love your app and search engine, however, one BIG feature that's stopping me from making it my default browser is that it doesn't support importing passwords, it's very easy to implement, please add the ability to add CSV files for password import, the. It will be no brainer to make this app as my default browser it is much faster than other privacy alternatives (Brave/Firefox). Also it is easy on CPU & memory.

Freeze ups, going backwards needs better option, leaving screen by accident erases all tabs & data from search even if you have it set for a delay , searches are kinda "bing' like. Love the security's tracking and email protection, complety disabled Google, Chrome,all G apps minus Gmail & Play store on my phone I only use DDG for all online use

The latest few updates seem to have broken the ability to open websites in an external app, e.g. I don't get a notification to open twitter when opening a twitter link, or any other external app for that matter. I used to use it all the time and it's very annoying now.
