The official DuckDuckGo Android app, a privacy-focused mobile browser and search client written in Kotlin. It blocks trackers, enforces encryption, and offers private search without profiling users.

Use cases

  • browse the web without being tracked on Android
  • private mobile search that doesn't record my history
  • block ad trackers on my phone
  • open-source alternative to Chrome on Android
  • private browsing app with tracker blocking
  • search the web anonymously from my phone

When to choose

  • you want a privacy-first mobile browser with built-in tracker blocking
  • you want to contribute to or translate an open-source Android app
  • you prefer DuckDuckGo search and want it integrated into a mobile browser

When to avoid

  • you need full Chrome extension support or desktop sync features
  • you rely on web apps that require non-private browsing modes
  • you need a browser for iOS or desktop platforms
