How it Works

Just a few clicks to install, and you're ready to go. It's that easy.

We'll block hidden trackers and encrypt connections to keep you more private.

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials protects your privacy, wherever the Internet takes you.

We don’t store your
information. Ever.

Our privacy policy is simple: we don’t collect
or share any of your personal information.

We don’t store your search history. We therefore have nothing
to sell to advertisers that track you across the Internet.

Other search engines track your searches even when you’re
in private browsing mode. We don’t track you — period.

No tracking, no ad targeting, just searching.
