I could understand how someone with less experience could be a little intimidated. I will admit that being thrown straight to the browser's start page was a little jarring, even for someone experienced in setting these kinds of things up. Right after you press "Start Browsing" on the second welcome screen, you do just that - you just start browsing! The second shows a short video of adding DuckDuckGo to your device's homescreen dock, essentially suggesting you replace Safari. The first screen tells you a little about its privacy features and functionality. But they're hardly set up screens they just have a bit of info on what the DuckDuckGo browser can do for you.
Granted, there are two screens presented at first launch. Zero complaints from me there.Īfter launching the app for the first time, I was surprised that there was literally no setup involved.

That's pretty lightweight and super easy on the storage capacity of your device(s). The download size for this privacy browser is a little more than 35MB. Running this browser requires Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and up. Running this browser requires iOS 10.0 or later. In this review, we will only be evaluating DuckDuckGo's Privacy Browser for mobile devices - not the extension. My guess is that we shouldn't look for the desktop version any time soon. Since it has an extension widely available for other browsers such as Firefox and Google Chrome, it's up in the air if the company plans on launching a standalone browser for desktops. Let's look at some of the barebones basics of the app before we commit to a download.ĭuckDuckGo's privacy browser is only available for mobile platforms, which includes iOS and Android. Now, they've also created their own mobile privacy browser.ĭuckDuckGo's mobile browser is synonymous with the company's mission: "Privacy, simplified."ĭownload DuckDuckGo Mobile Browser Download DuckDuckGo Mobile Browser Before the download While DuckDuckGo originally started as a search engine, the company has also developed privacy extensions for the likes of Firefox and Google Chrome. If you have, you probably also know that it's a search engine that is focused on user privacy it doesn't track your data when you use it.Īnd if you haven't heard of DuckDuckGo, well there you go - it's a search engine that doesn't track your data.
