DuckDuckGo is an independent Internet privacy company dedicated to providing users with tools that enhance their online privacy. Best known for its search engine, DuckDuckGo offers a free web browser and browser extensions for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows that include built-in privacy features such as tracker blocking, encryption, and email protection.
