Tracker & Ad Protection

DuckDuckGo’s browser and extensions offer protections like tracker-blocking, cookie protection, fingerprinting protection, referrer tracking protection, and more. These tools stop many third-party tracking attempts before they even begin.

Blocks Trackers Automatically

How does it work?

No Tracking of Your Identity

Unlike Google, DuckDuckGo does not create a profile about you. It doesn’t track: Your IP address Your search history Your location (unless you choose to share it) Your device details.
It Uses Multiple Sources for Search Results

DuckDuckGo does not index the whole internet by itself like Google. Instead, it gets results from: Its own web crawler (DuckDuckBot) Partners like Bing Crowdsourced sites (Wikipedia, StackExchange, etc.) Specialized APIs Over 400 content sources.
No Personalization of Results

Everyone who searches the same query sees the same results. There is no “search bubble,” meaning you don’t get filtered or biased results based on your history.
