FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


HOW DOES DUCKDUCKGO MAKE MONEY?

We make our money from private ads on our search engine. On other search
engines, ads are based on profiles compiled about you using your personal
information like search, browsing, and purchase history. Since we don’t collect
that information, search ads on DuckDuckGo are based on the search results page
you are viewing, not on you as a person. For example, if you search for cars,
we’ll show you ads about cars.

WHAT DOES GOOGLE KNOW ABOUT ME?

Not only does Google keep your search history forever by default, their trackers
have been found on 75% of the top million websites, which means they are
tracking most everywhere you go on the Internet (unless you stop them with
DuckDuckGo!). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

 Learn more.


WHY USE DUCKDUCKGO INSTEAD OF GOOGLE?

Ever notice ads constantly following you around? That’s in part because Google
tracks your searches and hides trackers on millions of websites. By contrast,
our private search engine doesn’t track your searches and our DuckDuckGo browser
extension and mobile app block Google’s (and many other companies’) trackers
across the Internet, helping to keep your browsing history more private, as it
should be. And that’s just the beginning — by using DuckDuckGo you also escape
the manipulation of the filter bubble and can use the Internet faster (after all
that tracking code is disabled).

 Learn more.


HOW DO DUCKDUCKGO SEARCH RESULTS COMPARE TO GOOGLE’S?

DuckDuckGo search gives you truly private search results without tradeoffs in
result quality. We have everything you’ve come to expect in an online search
experience, and a few bonus features that make searching the Internet not only
private, but also a bit more fun! And, on top of that, because there is no
search history on DuckDuckGo, you escape the filter bubble of manipulated
results.

 Learn more.


IS DUCKDUCKGO AN “UNFILTERED” SEARCH ENGINE?

Unlike some other search engines, we don’t alter search results based on
someone’s previous search history. In fact, since we don’t track our users we
don’t have access to search histories at all! Those other search engines show
you results based on a data profile about you and your online activity
(including your search history), and so can be slanted towards what they think
you will click on the most based on this profiling. This effect is commonly
known as the search filter bubble, but using DuckDuckGo can help you escape it.

This does not mean our search results are generally “unfiltered” because, for
every search you make online, a search engine’s job is to filter millions of
possible results down to a ranked order of just a handful. In other words, a
search engine has to use algorithms programmed by people to determine what shows
up first in the list of results, what shows up second, and so on. Otherwise, for
every search you’d just get a completely random set of results, which of course
wouldn’t be very useful.


IS DUCKDUCKGO OWNED BY GOOGLE?

No, we are not and have never been owned by Google. We have been an independent
company since our founding in 2008 and, unlike some other search engines, we
don’t rely on Google’s results for any of our search results. You may notice
that we offer a Google Chrome extension and a Google Android app, but these are
also not in partnership with Google and actually aim to protect you from
Google’s online trackers.


WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING DUCKDUCKGO AND INCOGNITO MODE?

It is a myth that you can’t be tracked while using so-called “Incognito” mode.
In fact, Incognito mode mainly just deletes information on your computer and
does nothing to stop Google from saving your searches, nor does it stop
companies, Internet service providers, or governments from being able to track
you across the Internet. By contrast, DuckDuckGo search is completely anonymous
and if you add our app & extension on top, we help keep you private when
browsing off of search results.

 Learn more.


HOW POPULAR IS DUCKDUCKGO?

We don’t track our users, so it’s actually impossible for us to know how many
users in total are using our products. However, we are able to make an estimate
based on the number of searches we get per month. Our best guess — over 50
million people!

HOW DOES THE DUCKDUCKGO APP & EXTENSION WORK?

The DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser mobile app and Privacy Essentials desktop
extension both come with our best-in-class tracker blocker, encryption enforcer,
and private search engine – all in one simple package. This gives you all the
key privacy protection tools to search and browse privately, curbing the
constant monitoring of your Internet activity by companies like Google and
Facebook.
