![]() Our goal has always been to provide the most privacy we can in one download, by default without any complicated settings. This blog post we published gets into the real benefits users enjoy from this approach, like faster load times (46% average decrease) and less data transferred (34% average decrease). ![]() Because we're doing this where we can, users are still getting significantly more privacy protection with DuckDuckGo than they would using Safari, Firefox and other browsers. "What we're talking about here is an above-and-beyond protection that most browsers don't even attempt to do - that is, blocking third-party tracking scripts before they load on 3rd party websites. ![]() When most other browsers on the market talk about tracking protection, they are usually referring to 3rd-party cookie protection and fingerprinting protection, and our browsers for iOS, Android, and our new Mac beta, impose these restrictions on third-party tracking scripts, including those from Microsoft. That means they can’t sell your data to advertisers or use it to target you with ads. "We have always been extremely careful to never promise anonymity when browsing, because that frankly isn’t possible given how quickly trackers change how they work to evade protections and the tools we currently offer. DuckDuckGo, on the other hand, does not collect any user data. ![]() It even has a nifty and explosively cool feature that lets you securely wipe all of your browsing history with just a single tap. Overall, it's a solid piece of tech that can help keep trackers out of your private business.
