DuckDuckGo offers a suite of privacy-focused tools and features to protect your privacy.

The search engine doesn't track searches made through its browser extension or mobile app.

The company has significantly expanded its offerings over the past few years , making it a more robust service for protecting privacy.

DuckDucksGo's browser and extensions were downloaded more than 250 million times in September 2023 .

DuckDuckGo's privacy features include an anonymous platform for using AI chatbots.

Privacy Pro costs $ 10 per month or $ 100 per year for an annual subscription.

The easiest way to start using the browser is to download it on mobile devices.
