What is the DuckDuckGo App and what does it do?

Privacy is not something you only need in certain situations or in partial amounts, and it’s a myth that you can’t have the same Internet you like and need, but with more privacy. At DuckDuckGo, privacy is made simple.

For example, our mobile apps make privacy the default, with no complicated settings, no need to understand the ins and outs of the technology, just built-in privacy protections that work, like private search, tracker blocking, website encryption (HTTPS upgrading), and email protection. You’ve downloaded them over 150M times since their launch in 2018, and we’ve heard your feedback that you want this same “privacy, simplified” experience on your desktops and laptops.

DuckDuckGo for Mac

Using an app designed to protect your privacy by default not only reduces invasive tracking but also speeds up browsing and eliminates many everyday annoyances like cookie consent pop-ups.

• DuckDuckGo for Mac gives you privacy by default
• DuckDuckGo for Mac is fast

• DuckDuckGo for Mac is not just a replacement for “Incognito mode” (which is not actually private!) – Instead DuckDuckGo for Mac is designed to be used as an everyday browser that truly protects your privacy. 

Simply protecting your privacy?

DuckDuckGo’s mission is to show the world that protecting privacy is simple. There is a need for apps that are a pleasure to use and provide as comprehensive privacy protection as possible, whether you are on your phone, at your desk, in a hammock, or somewhere else that is even nicer than a hammock, DuckDuckGo for Mac is a major step in this direction.
