Description

DuckDuckGo for Mac is a free browser that provides the most comprehensive online privacy protection in one app. Unlike most popular browsers, it has powerful privacy protections by default, including our search engine that doesn’t track your history and over a dozen other built-in protections. Millions of people use DuckDuckGo as their go-to browser to protect their everyday online activities, from searching to browsing, emailing, and more.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS 

• Search Privately by Default: DuckDuckGo Private Search comes built-in, so you can easily search online without being tracked. 

• Block Most Trackers Before They Load: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection exceeds what most popular browsers offer by default, stopping most hidden tracking scripts from loading and collecting your personal data. 

• Enable Built-in Email Protection: Block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses. 

• Watch YouTube videos more privately: 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. 
 
• Import Bookmarks and Passwords: Easily bring your bookmarks and login info from another browser to DuckDuckGo. Plus, Sync bookmarks and passwords across your devices. 
 
• We feature many protections not available on most browsers, even in private browsing mode, including protection from link tracking, AMP tracking, and more. 
 

EVERYDAY PRIVACY CONTROLS 

• 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. 
 
• Signal your privacy preference with Global Privacy Control (GPC) built into our app. GPC intends to help you express your opt-out rights automatically by telling websites not to sell or share your personal info. Whether it can be used to enforce your legal rights depends on the laws in your jurisdiction.

Wow! Real “Search” 😜

Search results based on actual keyword matches are just so much better when you are looking for something specific. You actually find websites that just never seem to pop up on Google for whatever reason. Its real search - not being a blip on a platform that aims to extract and predict “you”

Outstanding!

Compared to Firefox, Firefox Focus, and Brave. I find Duckduckgo to be first class app. It's build-in ad and tracker report provides an outstanding layout of each tracking company listed of each website you visit. Also, I noted forced encryption on some unsecured websites which is really nice.

5 stars because its simple, educational, and easy to delete browsing activities everytime.

A great alternative to any search engine!

Genuinely, this search engine was already great, but when I stumbled upon this, I knew I had to try it out, and let me just tell you now: downloading this isn’t a mistake!

Anonymous browsing, stops several companies from tracking you, and if you really want to feel safe. A button to erase all your history and tabs, nothing can find out my… er…. video researching files.

I’m sure there are a few more features around here that I haven’t figured out, but I do know that whatever feature it is, it’s one that’ll protect my data. :D

Thanks to the team working on this
