DuckDuckGo

With the DuckDuckGo app, you can easily protect your online privacy by simply pressing a button. Upon downloading the app, you gain access to an everyday private internet browser that seamlessly protects you as you search and browse. Additionally, the app provides tracking protection for your emails and other apps. Unlike many popular web browsers, DuckDuckGo offers several protections by default that contribute to its comprehensive security.
 
The app's features are as follows:
- DuckDuckGo Private Search, which allows you to search the web without being tracked
- The ability to prevent most 3rd-party cookies from tracking you as you browse online
- Protection from hidden 3rd-party trackers (scripts) that load automatically when visiting websites, with the technology going above and beyond the protections offered by most web browsers
- Automatic enforcement of encrypted (HTTPS) connections while browsing
- A feature that enables you to block most email trackers and hide your existing email address when signing up for things online}
- App Tracking Protection, which prevents third-party companies from invading your privacy by blocking hidden app trackers in other apps day and night. This feature uses a VPN connection but does not collect personal data
- Protection from companies that attempt to create a unique identifier for you by combining specific information about your web browser and device settings
 
The app also provides everyday privacy controls such as a Fire Button, which allows you to clear your tabs and browsing data quickly. With Global Privacy Control (GPC), built into the app, you can express your opt-out rights automatically by telling websites not to sell or share your personal information. The ability to enforce legal rights depends on the laws in your jurisdiction.
 
Note that DuckDuckGo's 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection goes above and beyond popular browsers by default, but it is constantly being improved to be more comprehensive. Advertisers are currently able to detect conversions on their website for DuckDuckGo search ads, but DuckDuckGo's private search advertising is anonymous and in partnership with Microsoft, who has committed to not profiling users' ad clicks.
