DuckDuckGo provides comprehensive online privacy protection with just one click. As a result of one download, you get a new everyday browser that protects you whenever you search and browse, as well as tracking protection when you use apps and emails. Most popular browsers don't offer many of these protections by default.
Features of Proxy Croxy Duckduckgo Bokeh APK
- Default Private Search - DuckDuckGo's Private Search makes it easy to search the web anonymously.
- Trackers Are Escaping Before They Load - Prevents most hidden third-party trackers (third-party scripts) from loading, which prevents companies from collecting and using any data collected by the trackers (such as sales, advertising, etc).
- Automatically Enforce Encryption - Enforces that many sites you visit use encrypted connections (HTTPS), which helps protect your data from Wi-Fi snoopers and network onlookers.
- Built-in Email Protection – More than 85% of emails sent to Duck Addresses contain trackers that detect when you open them, where you are, and what device you are using. Using Email Protection, you can hide your existing address and block most email trackers when you sign up online without switching email providers.
- Protect Your Privacy in Other Apps (Beta) – Block most hidden app trackers in other apps and protect your privacy from third parties. This feature uses a VPN connection but works locally on your device and does not collect personal data.
A number of other protections are also available that aren't available in most browsers, including protection against link tracking and Google AMP tracking.
CONTROLS OVER DAILY PRIVACY
Fire Button, Burn Data - Delete your tabs and browsing data with our Fire Button.
We built Global Privacy Control (GPC) into our apps so that you can express your rights to choose automatically by telling websites not to sell or share your personal information with third parties. Depending on your jurisdiction's laws, you may be able to use it to enforce your legal rights (e.g., the CCPA, GDPR).
Third-Party Tracker Loading Protection following a DuckDuckGo ad click: We constantly work to make our Third-Party Tracker Protection even better. Currently, if an advertiser wants to detect conversions on their own website for our personalized DuckDuckGo search ads, our Third Party Tracker Load Protection will not stop bat.bing.com requests from loading on the advertiser's website after a DuckDuckGo ad clicks, but they are blocked in all other contexts. Microsoft and DuckDuckGo are partners in DuckDuckGo's private search ads. Due to that partnership, DuckDuckGo's users can view ads anonymously, and Microsoft has committed not to profile them based on ad clicks.
FAQs
What is DuckDuckGo?
A company dedicated to making privacy easy and accessible for everyone, DuckDuckGo is an independent Internet privacy company. With our free web browser for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, you can search the web and browse, but we don't track your searches or browsing history, like Google Search and Chrome. We also block other companies from tracking you by default.
How does DuckDuckGo protect my privacy?
A Google alternative, DuckDuckGo allows users to search and browse the web but does not track their searches or browsing history, and by default, our browsers and extensions prevent other companies from tracking them too. As part of our seamless privacy protection, our browser blocks trackers increases encryption, and provides Email Protection.
Can you tell me how many people use DuckDuckGo?
Due to the fact that we do not track our users, it is impossible for us to estimate how many people use our product in total. However, based on the number of searches we receive each month, our best guess is that there are over 100 million users. As a result of all these users, DuckDuckGo holds the #2 spot in mobile search in the US, as well as 18 other markets, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malta, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Can you tell me how DuckDuckGo makes money?
The private ads we sell on our search engine make money. On other search engines, ads are based on personal information, such as searches, browsing, and purchases. In order to comply with DuckDuckGo's Privacy Policy, we do not collect that information, so search ads on DuckDuckGo are based on the search results page you are currently viewing instead of on who other companies and tracking algorithms believe you are. We will show you ads about cars if you search for cars, for example.
How private is Incognito mode?
Using the so-called "Incognito" mode does not prevent you from being tracked. It actually deletes all your computer's information. There is no way to prevent Google from saving your search results, nor can it prevent companies, Internet service providers, or governments from tracking you online with Incognito mode. Alternatively, DuckDuckGo Search never keeps your or anyone else's search history, and DuckDuckGo Browser keeps you private on websites as well.
Can you tell me how DuckDuckGo Search compares to Google Search?
With DuckDuckGo Search, you won't have to sacrifice quality for true privacy. The DuckDuckGo search engine has everything you're looking for online (images, maps, answers, etc.), and you don't have to worry about the filter bubble of manipulated results because there are no search histories. Also, you'll find some bonus features that make using our private search engine a little more convenient. Our search engine is always improving, so expect even more improvements in the coming year!
Does DuckDuckGo belong to Google or to another company?
We are not owned by Google or any other entity, and we have never been. We were founded in 2008 and have always operated independently. Additionally, we do not use Google's search results. While we offer a Google Chrome extension as well as a Google Android app, they are not in partnership with Google and are intended to keep you safe from Google's online tracking tools.
