Search The Internet For Free Without Being Tracked

The DuckDuckGo web app is a search engine that searches the internet without tracking what you are looking at. If you feel that your searching habits are being tracked so that people may try to sell to you or manipulate you then try this private search engine.

Search Intelligently Without Being Tracked

The DuckDuckGo search engine doesn't collect data on its users. The search engine is not simply a web scraper program with a server. It is a growing and evolving program that the development community are working to make smarter and more sophisticated. The company is probably trying to make money with advertising but they do not yet have enough users to pay the sort of money that other search engines are making. However the search engine has been in business since 2008 and it is still going so there is a chance it will do okay because it would have disappeared already if it were terrible.

Conclusion - A Fantastic Way Of Maintaining Your Privacy

The DuckDuckGo search engine is probably the most secure and private way to search the internet without being tracked. It is free to use and it is only beaten by using private paid software for dark web surfing and/or some sort of VPN. On the security side the program is great but in terms of search capabilities it is still lagging behind Google.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
