Privacy-focused consumer search engine from DuckDuckGo that does not track users.
DuckDuckGo's search engine serves consumer web queries without tracking search history or profiling the person searching, so results are not personalized to an individual. It runs on the web, inside the DuckDuckGo browser, and in the company's mobile apps.
Alongside organic results the engine returns instant answers for common queries. DuckDuckGo funds the service with keyword-based advertising rather than advertising targeted to a specific person.
