What is DuckDuckGo Privacy?

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials is an app that helps users protect their privacy while browsing Safari. It comes with best-in-class privacy essentials and blocks tracking cookies and hidden trackers from loading. The app also offers a privacy dashboard and seamless privacy protection.



Software Features and Description

1. Currently, if an advertiser wants to detect conversions on their own website for our private DuckDuckGo search ads, our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection will not stop bat.bing.com requests from loading on the advertiser’s website following DuckDuckGo ad clicks, but those requests are stopped in all other contexts.

2. Note about our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection following DuckDuckGo ad clicks: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Protection goes above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default, but we’re constantly working to make it more comprehensive.

3. Our cutting-edge tracker blocking technology – called 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection – goes above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default.

4. While the extension doesn’t include DuckDuckGo Private Search, it is built into Safari as a default search option.

5. Escape Website Trackers Before They Load - we automatically stop most hidden trackers (3rd-party scripts) from loading, which prevents companies from collecting and using any personal data from these trackers.

6. DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials comes packed with best-in-class privacy essentials and makes browsing Safari even faster.

7. After you install our extension, you’ll be asked to enable Tracker Blocking and the Privacy Dashboard within Safari.

8. This is because DuckDuckGo private search advertising is in partnership with Microsoft.

9. As part of that partnership, viewing ads on DuckDuckGo is anonymous and Microsoft has committed to not profile our users’ ad clicks.

10. Join the millions of people using DuckDuckGo and protect many of your everyday online activities with one app.

11. Enabling all three gives you seamless privacy protection.

Top Pcmac Reviews

  • I want this to work, but...

    By WiseSoulKat (Pcmac user)

    I love this browser, but... The app on my Mac only allows me the privacy options, it does not take me to the browser when I click on the app icon. Additionally, I am having the same issue as others with the updates. It still shows that I need to update, even after it has completed the process.
  • Won't update

    By rlc3 (Pcmac user)

    Won't update to 1.0.1. Available in App store. Tries to download but then says "update" after downloading. Update: yes, the problem was that Safari was open. I was able to get it to update once I closed it. Seems the App Store should have indicated that I needed to quit the app to update.
  • Won't update here either

    By Mainely Rick (Pcmac user)

    Same as rlc3. Update process completes then still shows update needed.
  • Just like the rest...

    By ohhaythar! (Pcmac user)

    These extensions just block everything on a site and ruins the experience.
