The DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser for iOS, an open-source mobile web browser with built-in private search, third-party tracker blocking, ad blocking, and optional VPN and private AI chat features. This repository has been archived in favor of the unified duckduckgo/apple-browsers codebase and no longer accepts contributions.

Use cases

  • browse the web on iPhone without being tracked
  • block ads and trackers in a mobile browser
  • search privately instead of using Google
  • force HTTPS encryption on sites I visit
  • chat privately with AI models without my data being used
  • hide my email address with @duck.com aliases

When to choose

  • you want a privacy-focused iOS browser whose source code you can inspect
  • you need built-in tracker and ad blocking plus private search in one app
  • you want to contribute to or fork DuckDuckGo's Apple browser code (via the new apple-browsers repo)

When to avoid

  • you want to contribute code - the project moved to duckduckgo/apple-browsers
  • you need a browser for Android, Windows, or Mac (use the respective DuckDuckGo apps)
  • you need extensions or advanced developer tooling found in desktop browsers
