About DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo is the most popular privacy search engine. It doesn't store search history, doesn't build user profiles, and doesn't serve personalized ads based on queries. Offers bangs (shortcuts like !w for Wikipedia) and instant answers. The browser extension and mobile app add tracker blocking.
