The new DuckDuckGo feature aims to strengthen the privacy of the entire operating system by blocking third-party trackers in other Android apps that are present within a device.
The DuckDuckGo tracking protection feature aims to increase users’ privacy. Moreover, this search engine downloaded over 10 million instances from Google Play Store and includes numerous privacy features such as search term anonymity, hidden tracker blocking, auto-HTTPS, single-tap history cleaning, and email tracker protection.
The DDG app will detect advertising trackers being activated from other apps, stopping that data from being sent to advertising companies to serve up targeted ads - overwhelmingly, Google and Facebook.The open beta version of the DuckDuckGo for Android app tracking protection feature now allows some users to block third-party trackers in their installed applications.ĭuckDuckGo for Android applications is a web browser that prioritises privacy. Essentially it’s going to replicate one of the most popular new features for iOS: giving users the direct ability to block tracking that’s baked into third-party apps installed on their phones. The feature is called App Tracking Protection, and it’ll be baked into the existing DuckDuckGo browser for Android. But DuckDuckGo recently went even further, announcing that it’s going to rein in the tracking behavior of every other app on your phone, too. DuckDuckGo already offers a mobile Privacy Browser, a Chromium-based alternative to the stock browser that doesn’t do any of the usual snooping. But your search history is only one small part of the online profile that advertisers create for you, whether you know it or not.
DuckDuckGo is a familiar and popular search engine for people who think their searches are their own business, and no one else’s.
