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 1.86.0

• You can now bookmark all open tabs in a window at once. Simply Command-click on any tab and select Bookmark All Tabs.
• You'll now see clearer information in the address bar on special browser pages like Settings, Bookmarks, and Duck Player.
• We addressed the frustrating issue where you could be repeatedly asked to enter your password to unlock the Keychain. To ensure you're no longer asked for your password, you will need to enter your password only up to 3 more times after launching the app. After that, you should no longer see this annoying prompt.

Privacy issues solved

Well if you like to roam the web free from all the things they want to sell you (and actually you don’t want to buy them), welcome to privacy palace. DuckDuckGo excels in offering you the privacy you wanted - thank you for that! And without all the banners and trackers the websites load faster. Way to go guys!

5 stars, nothing more to say

This is a great project that keeps the internet as it should, free and anonymous. The app works flawlessly and because it blocks ads and trackers, browsing now consumes less battery and data traffic. Keep it up guys! And thank you for providing us with this app for free.

Better safe than sorry

I choose that I’m better safe than sorry. Because I have experience to have my data sold when I didn’t have any way to block trackers or hackers
