Privacy skeptics have dominated the discussion about online privacy for too long. “Sure people care about privacy, but they’ll never do anything about it.” It’s time to lay this bad take to rest.

Not only will consumers act to protect their privacy – they already are. Since the launch of iOS 14.5 in April, 84% of people in the U.S. have actively opted-out of tracking after seeing the new prompt being shown on Apple devices.

DuckDuckGo is the “easy button” for online privacy. That’s why our apps have been downloaded more than 50 million times over the last 12 months, more than all prior years combined.

Over our 13-year history, people have been introduced to DuckDuckGo in a few different ways depending on how and when they first heard about us: as a private search engine replacement for Google search, as a mobile privacy browser replacement for Chrome, or as a desktop browser extension that protects your browsing through top-of-the-line tracker blocking and the most HTTPS coverage.

What users love about DuckDuckGo is that we combine all these essential privacy features into one simple download on every major web platform (iOS, Android, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc.) with no complicated settings and privacy set as the default. There is no other place where users can get an all-in-one privacy bundle active by default, for free. We believe in simple privacy protection with no tradeoffs, so we explicitly designed our app to focus on not breaking your web experience while getting faster load times with less data transferred.
