About
DuckDuckGo Private Browser is a free web browser built around privacy protection rather than data collection. It includes the DuckDuckGo search engine, which doesn't track your searches, plus 3rd-party tracker blocking that stops most trackers before they load—exceeding protections in most popular browsers by default. Additional features include cookie blocking, email tracker blocking with optional @duck.com addresses, Duck Player for ad-free YouTube viewing, automatic HTTPS enforcement, fingerprinting protection, and encrypted bookmark and password sync across devices. Optional paid features add a VPN for up to 5 devices, advanced AI models in Duck.ai for private conversations, and personal information removal services.
