DuckDuckGo is a top-rated private browser that offers users an ad-free and tracker-free experience, completely free of charge. In addition to its exceptional privacy features, the browser also offers a variety of extensions for enhanced browsing and secure online activities. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ONLINE TRACKERS WITH BUILT-IN FEATURES With this browser’s built-in protection, you can avoid being tracked by malicious online entities. By preventing third-party scripts from loading, the app stops these covert trackers from collecting and using your personal information. This added layer of protection, known as Third-Party Tracker Loading Protection, goes beyond the standard safety features of most web browsers. ENCRYPT YOUR CONNECTION FOR ADDED SECURITY The browser allows you to automatically request that websites use an encrypted connection (HTTPS), safeguarding your data from Wi-Fi snoopers and network observers. This added encryption prevents data theft and other harmful online threats. BLOCK MALICIOUS EMAILS AUTOMATICALLY Did you know that over 85% of emails sent to @duck.com accounts contain trackers? These trackers can reveal when an email was opened, the location of the user, and the device used. By using Email Protection, you can easily block these email trackers and prevent them from accessing your inbox. This also eliminates the need to switch to a different email service provider. PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY FROM OTHER APPS App Tracking Protection blocks hidden app trackers that may be present in other apps, preventing third-party companies from violating your privacy. While this feature requires a VPN connection, it does not function as a VPN on its own. It also has a small memory footprint and only runs on the device it is installed on, without collecting any personally identifying information. AVOID FINGERPRINTING DURING ONLINE ACTIVITIES Tracking companies often use a method called ’fingerprinting’ to identify users by combining information about their browser and device settings. This is similar to online trackers that monitor your online activities. With the DuckDuckGo browser, you can safely browse the internet without leaving any trace behind and protect your personal information from exploitation. STOP TRACKING COOKIES AUTOMATICALLY Cookies from unknown sources can track your online movements and pose a threat to your privacy. The browser automatically blocks these tracking cookies, reducing the risk of being followed across the internet. This ensures that your browsing activity remains private and secure.
