Brave Search is the built-in search option for the Brave Browser and runs on its own independent search index rather than relying on Google or Bing. It also offers an Anonymous View mode that lets you browse linked websites without revealing your IP address or personal identity.

The interface is clean and simple, requiring no complicated settings or extra extensions to get meaningful privacy protection.

• These Instant Answers are collected from third-party APIs or static data sources such as text files.
• Another meaningful advantage is that search results are not personalized.

A new record of 111,703,299 daily searches was set on 17 January 2022. On January 11, 2021, a record of over 102.2 million daily searches was achieved. In January 2019, DuckDuckGo set a record of 1 billion monthly searches; and in November of the same year, it hit 50 million searches per day. Danny Sullivan wrote on Search Engine Land that despite the search engine’s growth “it’s not grown anywhere near the amount to reflect any substantial or even mildly notable switching by the searching public” for reasons due to privacy, and he concluded “No One Cares About “Private” Search”. On average, during May 2013, it had 1.8 million daily direct searches.

Using large language models from OpenAI and Anthropic, Search Assist generates answers to users’ questions by scanning online encyclopedias (like Wikipedia and Britannica). Longtail Instant Answers are full-text queries to a DuckDuckGo database of articles. Goodies instead use some form of the aforementioned static data sources, such as text files or JSON files.

The search engine, mobile browser, and browser extensions are all available at no cost. This protects sensitive information like passwords and personal data from interception. DuckDuckGo shows the same results to everyone, keeping your searches genuinely open. Google tailors what you see based on your search history, location, and past browsing behavior, which over time creates a filter around the content you encounter. Another meaningful advantage is that search results are not personalized. The result is fewer intrusive ads and a browsing experience that does not feel like you are being watched at every turn.

DuckDuckGo, Duck.ai, & VPN

As of March 2022update, DuckDuckGo handled 102,704,358 daily searches on average. On January 15, 2019, DuckDuckGo announced that all map and address-related searches would be powered by Apple Maps, both on desktop and mobile devices. The new version added many new features, such as images, local search, auto-suggest, weather, recipes, and more. In a lengthy profile in November 2012, The Washington Post indicated that searches on DuckDuckGo numbered up to 45,000,000 per month in October 2012. The search engine is written in Perl and runs on nginx, FreeBSD, and Linux.

The DuckDuckGo search engine works in any web browser and is also available as a standalone app for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. The full picture of what DuckDuckGo offers goes beyond just a search engine. DuckDuckGo gives people a way to browse the internet without being subjected to data collection, ad targeting, or website tracking. Join the millions of people using DuckDuckGo to protect their everyday searching, browsing, and emailing. That’s why millions of people choose DuckDuckGo over other browser extensions to protect their searching and browsing. In 2022, DuckDuckGo experienced stagnation and a slight decline in the number of searches per month.

It’s the kind of service you hope you never need, but it’s there if you do. Split Tunnelling is available, though, letting you route traffic from specific apps and sites through the VPN or outside of it, and you can set the VPN to connect automatically when you log in, but that’s about it for features. Perhaps the biggest downside right now is a lack of power features. It’s into this ecosystem that the VPN service arrives, and you’ll need to use the browser to install it first and foremost. It’s also now packing optional AI features, letting you engage with a chatbot with a little more privacy than a browser-based ChatGPT or Claude window.

Most search engines and browsers collect large amounts of data to build user profiles for targeted advertising.

DuckDuckGo is a privacy-first search engine and browser that offers a genuine alternative to mainstream services like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
