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.

Love this app

I love this app!! I was shocked to see the companies that were trying to track me when I went onto my different sites (uni portal/ shopping websites)
It drives me nuts that websites don’t let you browse without wanting to “add cookies” and track your every move! I never accept them but it is hard to get around sometimes.
On here you see little symbols at the top of the page of the companies trying to track you, then you see a line through them to show they’ve been blocked.
I don’t even use Facebook so was disgusted to see they were trying to track me. I was really irritated because I don’t use “social” media for a reason, so why they are tracking clothing and uni websites ... I don’t know.
I’ve told my partner about it and he’s downloaded the app and I’m going to keep raving about it to everyone. Privacy is so important to me and I’m glad there’s finally an app that protects my info.

Go woke go broke #DuckDuckGo I go on Search engines to search not for opinions

I have 30,000 followers on social media platforms I am pushing them to delete DuckDuckgo You have become a woke lefty organisation. The very reason I switched to your browser Let me ask you a question… You see that there is a global monopoly which censorssearch results on the internet, and you see that scoresof people are complaining about this, so much so that politicians are beginning to take notice. Being the industrious go-getter that you are, you decide to do something about it and start your own search engine which emphasizes uncensored search results and privacy from 3rd party ads. Against all odds, your search engine takes off to much fanfare; people love the uncensored search results, and they really like not seeing all those pesky advertisements too…. Trending: UPDATE: Did We Find Fauci? Then just as quickly as lightning strikes, a petrodollar war breaks out, and you decide to royally screw yourself by getting on Twitter and announcing that you are going to do the exact same thing that global monopoly did—censor results. Doesn’t make any sense does it? Yet this is exactly what Gabriel Weinberg, the founder of DuckDuckGo, just did in a series of tweets. Weinberg was met with scores of people disavowing his product and his company, and if you don’t believe me just click on his Tweets and read the comments—none of them are positive.

Developer Response ,

Privacy is our priority, not supporting any particular point of view. We don't evaluate individual stories and like all search engines, lower quality sites are placed further down the results page for a more useful search experience. This isn't censorship, it's just search rankings.

Unlike other search engines, though, we don't alter search results based on someone's previous search history. In fact, since we don't track our users we don't have any search histories at all. This means DuckDuckGo helps you escape the search “filter bubble”. However, this does not mean our search results are generally "unfiltered" because no search engine can provide results that are truly "unfiltered". That's because by definition a search engine's job is to filter results down from millions to a ranked order of just a handful.

Review

I have only just switched to DuckDuckGo as I read an article about google an what they can actually see an do an watch it sickened me at the thought of google being able to access just on me one person, the amount of info they have alone on myself is scary I don’t like that thought.. my daughter for a very long time has told me to be very careful with what I say an do through my phone? I was more concerned for my daughter thinking she was acting very cautious sometimes paranoid as she would turn her phone of when getting undressed or if she wanted to speak to me about something private her phone would be switched of but now after finding out what google can access just of myself my daughter isn’t the one that’s being to cautious.. I’ve noticed that everything an anything I talk about with my friends or something I listen to on the tv will for sure show up on my phone at some point that makes me think it was just a coincidence but it’s actually not there’s no such thing as a coincidence!! This made me want to switch over from google to DuckDuckGo...
