Description

DuckDuckGo for Mac is a free browser that provides the most comprehensive online privacy protection in one app. Unlike most popular browsers, it has powerful privacy protections by default, including our search engine that doesn’t track your history and over a dozen other built-in protections. Millions of people use DuckDuckGo as their go-to browser to protect their everyday online activities, from searching to browsing, emailing, and more.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS 

• Search Privately by Default: DuckDuckGo Private Search comes built-in, so you can easily search online without being tracked. 

• Block Most Trackers Before They Load: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection exceeds what most popular browsers offer by default, stopping most hidden tracking scripts from loading and collecting your personal data. 

• Enable Built-in Email Protection: Block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses. 

• Watch YouTube videos more privately: Duck Player protects you from targeted ads and cookies with a distraction-free interface that incorporates YouTube’s strictest privacy settings for embedded video. 

• Automatically Enforce Encryption: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by forcing many sites to use an HTTPS connection. 

• Escape Fingerprinting: Make it harder for companies to create a unique identifier for you by blocking attempts to combine info about your browser and device. 
 
• Import Bookmarks and Passwords: Easily bring your bookmarks and login info from another browser to DuckDuckGo. Plus, Sync bookmarks and passwords across your devices. 
 
• We feature many protections not available on most browsers, even in private browsing mode, including protection from link tracking, AMP tracking, and more. 
 

EVERYDAY PRIVACY CONTROLS 

• Clear your tabs and browsing data in a flash with the Fire Button. 
 
• Banish cookie pop-ups and automatically set your preferences to minimize cookies and maximize privacy. 
 
• Signal your privacy preference with Global Privacy Control (GPC) built into our app. GPC intends to help you express your opt-out rights automatically by telling websites not to sell or share your personal info. Whether it can be used to enforce your legal rights depends on the laws in your jurisdiction.

What’s New

Version 1.111.0

• If you haven't saved a password for a site you're signing in to, you can easily import passwords from another browser or password manager with a new option available in the autofill popup shown on login forms.
• You can now use new "undo" and "redo" options to assist with bookmark management. The keyboard shortcut CMD+Z will quickly undo bookmark deletion and CMD+Shift+Z will redo it. You'll find similar "Undo Delete Bookmark" and "Redo Delete Bookmark" options in the Mac app menu under "Edit" as well.
• We fixed a bug that occasionally caused hidden trackers blocked by DuckDuckGo to be underreported in the Privacy Dashboard.

Unable to see full URL in address bar

After one of the latest updates, only the hostname of the current website is shown in the address bar, without an option in Settings to show the full URL instead. Please, add the switch in the Settings!

Developer Response ,

This should be fixed in the latest app version, apologies for the inconvenience.
