DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection Edge extension security report

At DuckDuckGo, we believe the best way to protect your personal information from hackers, scammers, and privacy-invasive companies is to stop it from being collected at all. That's why millions of people choose DuckDuckGo over other browser extensions to protect their searching and browsing. Our built-in search engine is like Google but never tracks your searches. Our browsing protections, such as ad tracker blocking and cookie blocking, help stop other companies from collecting your data. While our optional integrated AI features, Search Assist and Duck.ai, are private and never use your data to train AI. Oh, and our browser extension is free — we make money from privacy-respecting search ads, not by exploiting your data. Take back control of your personal information with the browser extension designed for data protection, not data collection.   FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS   Protect Your Searches by Default: Install the extension and we’ll set your default search engine and homepage to DuckDuckGo Search, so you can easily search online without being tracked.   Shield Your Browsing History: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection blocks most trackers before they load, greatly exceeding what the browser offers by default.    Chat Privately With AI: Duck.ai lets you have private conversations with 3rd-party AI models, anonymized by us and never used to train AI.    Secure Your Email (Optional): Use Email Protection to block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses.     Automatically Enforce Encryption: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by forcing many sites to use an HTTPS connection.    Escape Fingerprinting: Make it harder for companies to create a unique identifier for you by blocking attempts to combine info about your browser and device.   Block Tracking Cookies: Prevents most 3rd-party cookies from tracking you as you browse from site to site.   We feature many protections not available on most browsers and extensions, even in private browsing mode, including protection from link tracking, Global Privacy Control, and more.  You don't need to wait to take control of your personal information! Join the millions of people using DuckDuckGo to protect their everyday searching, browsing, and emailing.  Read more about our free Tracking Protections at https://help.duckduckgo.com/privacy/web-tracking-protections     Privacy Policy: https://duckduckgo.com/privacy/   Terms of Service: https://duckduckgo.com/terms  Note about 3rd-Party Tracker Protection and Search Ads: while there are some limitations following search ad clicks, viewing ads on DuckDuckGo search is anonymous.
