About DuckDuckGo

The DuckDuckGo browser is designed to provide privacy on mobile. Unlike the big browsers, this browser is built with the mobile user privacy in mind. DuckDuckGo is built without tracking. This means it does not track users and does not facilitate tracking by others. DuckDuckGo comes with default private searching. Search engines create user profiles based on the things people search for, the things they are interested in, and of course, their browsing history in order to show them personalized ads. This browser, however, does not keep search history meaning each session starts with a blank search history. This browser keeps private user data meaning the user’s search history is not sold to third-party advertisers and their search history does not create their digital shadow. This browser separates searches from users meaning web searches can be done without the user always being under the web search surveillance. This is very useful for users that do sensitive searches or how important their privacy is on the internet.

Going beyond the search engine, the application uses Tracker Radar, a high-end blocker for trackers. Many of today’s websites have third-party tracking systems that track users and collect their browsing data across multiple sites. Tracker Radar identifies and blocks tracking code before it loads. This stops data tracking at its source and limits the data that is externally tracked. This is not just a list of blocked domains. It is a system that monitors tracker behavior across different websites and services. This system also includes the Smarter Encryption feature that allows a browser to connect to a website using an encrypted connection. Most websites support an encrypted connection, but do not use it by default. DuckDuckGo MOD APK forces websites to make use of HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) whenever it is available. Without this layer of protection, network observers can easily obtain data (e.g. login credentials, credit card data, etc.) as the user browses websites on public and unsecured Wi-Fi networks.

Built-in VPN capabilities and an Email Privacy Shield further enhance security. An integrated VPN encrypts the entire device connection to the internet and hides the user’s IP address. This keeps the identity of users and their physical location hidden from Internet Service Providers and others who may be watching and analysis traffic being sent across the network. When users connect to secure servers, VPNs provide activities across the device, including web browsing, with an added layer of anonymity. The Email Privacy Shield offers all users the ability to signup for a private @duck.com email. All emails sent to this email address are cleaned from trackers that marketers use to see when an email is opened and what link was clicked. This email is then forwarded to the user’s inbox. Providing an email to a website or service is now done without exposing a user’s contact information to trackers and marketing data collection.

This application’s user Interface balances control and transparency with the Fire Button and the Privacy Grade system. The Fire Button is a key feature that eliminates all tabs and browsing data with the tap of a button. It displays an animation to show that it has erased the user data and subsequently erases all data stored locally. It is ideal for users who wish to ensure that no data is stored on the device after use. The application calculates a Privacy Grade on a sliding scale A-F on each site visited to provide feedback on a site’s behavior in real time. This is based on how a site’s privacy practices stack up against the browser’s protective layers and how much a site is trying to track the user. The browser’s settings also support the Global Privacy Control (GPC) which tells every website visited that the user does not wish to be tracked and that the user’s data will not be sold either.

In the current climate of online data collection, this browser provides those wishing to regain control of their data a safe refuge. This application allows its users to browse the web without an engaged audience. Whether users are doing sensitive browsing, holiday shopping, or just catching up on news, this application’s tools help them do so. The application incorporates speed, security, and a built in VPN. The combination of these features provides users with unmatched online freedom. It is built to browse the web free of data mining and bothersome tracking. Each privacy oriented feature is incorporated within the interface. This application provides a private, secure, and fast internet experience. The one interface incorporates all required privacy features and advanced protections and makes them easy to use. This application simplifies and provides advanced protections to everyone, even non-technical users.
