DuckDuckGo FAQ: Your Questions Answered
1. What makes DuckDuckGo different from other browsers like Chrome?
DuckDuckGo is built with privacy at its core. Unlike Chrome and many other browsers, DuckDuckGo blocks most trackers, never collects or stores your search history, and doesn’t profile you. We don't track you — ever.
2. Does DuckDuckGo track my searches?
No. DuckDuckGo Search is designed to keep your queries private. We don’t store personal search histories, track behavior, or create user profiles.
3. How does DuckDuckGo block trackers?
Our browser includes 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection, which blocks most hidden trackers before they even load — offering stronger protection than most browsers by default.
4. Is DuckDuckGo’s browser free to use?
Yes, it’s completely free. We make money through privacy-respecting search ads that don’t rely on your personal data.
5. What is Email Protection and how does it work?
DuckDuckGo’s Email Protection gives you a @duck.com address that forwards mail to your real inbox. It strips most email trackers and helps keep your real email address private.
6. Can I watch YouTube privately with DuckDuckGo?
Yes. Duck Player lets you watch YouTube videos in a distraction-free interface without personalized ads or tracking cookies.
7. How does DuckDuckGo protect me on public Wi-Fi?
We automatically force many websites to use HTTPS, which encrypts your data and protects you from network snoopers.
8. What is App Tracking Protection? Is it a VPN?
App Tracking Protection blocks most hidden trackers in other apps on your device. It uses a local VPN connection (not a real VPN service) to work, but it doesn’t route data externally or collect personal info.
9. What is fingerprinting and how does DuckDuckGo protect me from it?
Fingerprinting is a method companies use to uniquely identify your device using browser and hardware details. DuckDuckGo blocks many of these attempts, making it harder to track you across sites.
10. Can I sync my data across devices?
Yes. You can optionally sync encrypted bookmarks and passwords across your devices. This feature is secure and private.
11. What is the Fire Button?
The Fire Button instantly clears all tabs and browsing data with a single tap — perfect for fast and easy privacy resets.
12. How does DuckDuckGo handle cookie pop-ups?
We minimize cookie-related tracking by automatically rejecting unnecessary cookie prompts and setting the most privacy-friendly options where possible.
13. What is Privacy Pro?
Privacy Pro is a premium subscription that includes:
-
A VPN for up to 5 devices
-
Personal information removal from data broker sites
-
Identity theft restoration services
14. How does billing work for Privacy Pro?
Charges are processed through your Google Account and can be managed in the app settings. You may provide an email address to use the subscription on other devices — it’s used only for verification.
15. Are DuckDuckGo search ads private?
Yes. While there are some limitations after clicking on ads, simply viewing ads on DuckDuckGo Search is anonymous.
