Whether you're searching the web, browsing websites, or exploring AI-powered features, DuckDuckGo prioritizes maintaining your privacy without compromising on usability or convenience.
About DuckDuckGo and Its Mission
At DuckDuckGo, we believe the best way to safeguard your personal data from hackers, scammers, and privacy-invasive corporations is to prevent its collection in the first place. That's why millions of users choose DuckDuckGo over traditional browsers like Chrome or Edge for their online searches and browsing sessions. Our built-in search engine offers Google-like search results without tracking your queries, ensuring your privacy remains protected.
Additionally, DuckDuckGo's browsing protections—such as ad tracker blocking and cookie management—work seamlessly to prevent third-party companies from collecting your data. The best part? Our browser is completely free, monetized through privacy-respecting search ads, not by exploiting user data. It’s a browser designed to give you full control over your information, not to harvest it.
