DuckDuckGo Private Browser is a web browser created by DuckDuckGo.[2] It is a privacy-oriented browser available for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.[3]
The browser relies on the WebView component provided by the operating system.[1] This means the browser engine is Blink on Android and Windows, but WebKit on iOS and macOS.
Features
- Automatically blocks web trackers, and upgrades insecure HTTP connections to HTTPS when possible.[4][5]
- Has a special "Duck Player" that allows users to watch YouTube videos without being target of advertisements and tracking cookies.[6]
- Has an automatic cookie consent tool and supports the Global Privacy Control option.[7]
- The Android version has a feature called App Tracking Protection, which when enabled blocks trackers in other Android applications.[8][9]
History
DuckDuckGo Private Browser was first released for Android and iOS in 2018.[10] Desktop support began in 2022, with the beta version for macOS.[11][12] The beta version for Windows was released in 2023.[1][13]
Controversies
In May 2022, it was discovered that tracking scripts by Microsoft products like Bing and LinkedIn are not blocked by the browser.[14] DuckDuckGo's founder and CEO explained it by noting that the company was "currently contractually restricted by Microsoft" due to their use of Bing as a provider of results in DuckDuckGo search. This meant the browser could not block Microsoft scripts.[15] In August 2022, however, the company announced that they would block Microsoft trackers in its browsers.[16]
