DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

Privacy, simplified. At DuckDuckGo, we believe the internet should be less creepy and that getting the privacy you deserve online should be as simple as closing the blinds. Our add-ons provide the privacy essentials you need to seamlessly control your personal information, no matter where the internet takes you: Escape the ad tracker network—our privacy protections block all the hidden third-party trackers we can find, revealing the major ad networks tracking you over time so you can track who's trying to track you. Increase encryption protection—we force sites to use encrypted connections where available, protecting your data from prying ISP eyes. Search privately—you share your most personal information with search engines (e.g., financial, medical, and political issues). Your searches are your own business, which is why DuckDuckGo search doesn't track you. Ever. Decode privacy policies—we partner with Terms of Service; Didn't Read to include scores and labels for website terms of service and privacy policies. Our add-ons also add a toolbar icon that shows you a privacy grade (A-F) when visiting a website. This grade lets you see how protected you are, drill down for details to see who we caught trying to track you, and learn how we enhance the underlying site's privacy measures. Privacy grades are automatically scored based on hidden tracker networks, encryption availability, and website privacy practices. Too many people believe you simply can't expect privacy on the internet. We're working to change that and make it our mission to set a new standard of trust online. Install DuckDuckGo and take back your privacy!
