DuckDuckGo is a relatively safe search engine and you can use it without compromising your security. As any other browser, DuckDuckGo is susceptible to viruses, malware, and online threats. Whether or not you'll get infected very much depends on your common sense and on what you choose to do online.

Can DuckDuckGo be traced?

DuckDuckGo search is completely anonymous, in line with our strict privacy policy. Each time you search on DuckDuckGo, you have a blank search history, as if you've never been there before. We simply don't store anything that can tie searches to you personally.

Why does my browser go to DuckDuckGo?

Is DuckDuckGo the safest browser?

If you're concerned about your privacy while searching the web, DuckDuckGo is a good option, but it won't protect you from malware. Cybercriminals can still use social engineering attacks or track you through individual websites and social media platforms.

Does DuckDuckGo block all tracking?

When enabled in DuckDuckGo's browser, it detects when apps are about to send data to a list of third-party tracking companies on DuckDuckGo's publicly available blocklist and then blocks most of those data requests. It all happens on the device without routing your data through DuckDuckGo's servers.

What are the disadvantages of using DuckDuckGo?

Cons. As DuckDuckGo offers private search, it does not store your search history or give personalized search suggestions. DuckDuckGo doesn't offer as many services as Google and other search engines. You don't have the same resources as Google maps, Play store, or Gmail access.

Can Google track me if I use DuckDuckGo?

We don't track you at all, regardless what browsing mode you are in. Each time you search on DuckDuckGo, it's as if you've never been there before. We simply don't store anything that can tie your searches to you personally, or even tie them together into a search history that could later be tied back to you.

Is DuckDuckGo a security risk?

DuckDuckGo protects your privacy while you search, but it offers little defense against other threats on the Internet, like government surveillance and social media trackers. DuckDuckGo doesn't encrypt all your traffic, which means any prying eyes can still see your activity and IP address.
