FreePrivacy-first browser from DuckDuckGo with tracker blocking, private search and an optional Duck.ai assistant.
About DuckDuckGo Browser
The DuckDuckGo browser is built by the company behind the private search engine of the same name. It is available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS and uses each operating system's own web engine rather than a single shared one.
It is designed to be simple. Tracker blocking and cookie pop-up handling are on by default, searches go through DuckDuckGo, and the Fire button clears tabs and data in one tap. Email Protection can hide your address from trackers, and an optional Duck.ai chat assistant is available. The Android listing mentions in-app purchases, which relate to the optional paid subscription.
It suits people who want a straightforward private browser without much setup and who do not need a large extension ecosystem. The browser is free, and the company says it does not track your searches or browsing. Compared with Chrome or Firefox it has fewer customisation options and limited extension support, which may matter for some workflows.
Good for a low-effort private setup, but check whether your required extensions are supported before switching from a desktop browser.
