Description

The DuckDuckGo app is a robust tool designed to put your online privacy first with a simple click. When you download this free app, you gain access to a private internet browser that provides excellent protection as you search and browse the web. It also shields you from tracking cookies and hidden trackers, ensuring your personal data remains safe and secure.

 

Key Features of DuckDuckGo APK

  1. Private Search by Default: The app includes DuckDuckGo Private Search, which keeps your searches private and untraceable.
  2. Blocking Tracking Cookies: It prevents most third-party internet cookies from tracking your online activities.
  3. Halting Website Trackers: The app automatically stops hidden trackers from loading, giving you extra protection beyond regular web browsers.
  4. Forcing Encryption: Many websites are forced to use encrypted (HTTPS) connections, safeguarding your data from potential prying eyes.
  5. Blocking Email Trackers (Beta): You can easily block most email trackers and hide your address when signing up for online services without changing your email provider.
  6. Protecting Your Privacy in Other Apps (Beta): Block hidden app trackers in other apps, preventing third-party companies from invading your privacy. This feature operates locally on your device and doesn’t collect personal data.
  7. Preventing Fingerprinting: Stop companies from creating a unique identifier for you by blocking their attempts to gather specific information about your web browser and device settings.
  8. Everyday Privacy Controls: The Fire Button lets you quickly clear your tabs and browsing data.
  9. Global Privacy Control (GPC): This feature helps you automatically assert your opt-out rights by informing websites not to sell or share your personal information.

It’s important to note that the DuckDuckGo APK provides protections that are not typically available in most standard internet browsers, including blocking link tracking and Google AMP tracking.

While the 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection is comprehensive, it might not block bat.bing.com requests after DuckDuckGo ad clicks due to the partnership with Microsoft for private search advertising. Nonetheless, be assured that viewing ads on DuckDuckGo remains anonymous, and Microsoft is committed to not profiling users’ ad clicks.

With DuckDuckGo, you can take charge of your online privacy and enjoy a safer browsing experience.
