DuckDuckGo’s browser carries its no-tracking stance from search into a full browser, with tracker blocking, cookie-popup handling, and Email Protection built in. It does not ship its own engine but wraps the operating system’s, which keeps it light. It runs on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS but not Linux. Its Android, iOS, and macOS apps are open source. Only the Windows build is not open yet. It is a low-effort choice for people who already trust the DuckDuckGo name.
