In recent years, many internet users started to value their privacy, a change which led to the rise of services which make it a central focus.
Android users can choose their favorite browser from a large selection, but it seems that most of them are more preoccupied with maximizing their revenue instead of offering a reliable and pleasant user experience. Some will also track your habits in an attempt to deliver targeted advertising, a practice which can be quite annoying in the long run.
DuckDuckGo puts privacy above everything else, and by using it you will keep your valuable data safe, and your preferences are hidden away from the prying eyes of advertising companies. Below you can find some of the features offered by the app.
Evade targeted advertising
A custom privacy protection protocol will block third-party trackers from monitoring your activity. The feature will also display the name of the adverting networks, allowing users to learn more about the entities that observe them.
Secure your data with an encrypted connection
The browser will force most sites to establish a secure connection when they are accessed. A high-power encryption standard is used, and no one can gain access to your information.
Search for anything
Only you know and should know what you need. DuckDuckGo allows users to use a dedicated search engine which keeps the queries classified. The search service doesn’t track or log your data, which means that your private enquires will be safe.
DuckDuckGo partnered with Terms of Service Didn’t Read to let you know more about your favorite websites. TOSDN rates websites using an A to F grade system which uses a rich selection of criteria. As the grade gets lower, the platform is more likely to use terms which can hinder or breach the rights of the users. The Privacy Grade will be generated automatically when the site is accessed.
The latest version of the browser includes performance and stability fixes.
