Simple and seamless privacy protection for your browser.

Protecting your privacy online is like protecting your home. Locking the front door won’t stop the most determined folks from getting inside, especially if you’ve left the back door and windows unlocked and an extra key under the doormat. That’s why we offer multiple types of privacy protection, all with the single purpose of better protecting your privacy in Chrome.
With the press of a button, you get seamless protection from most 3rd-party trackers while you search and browse, access to tracking protections for emails you receive, and many more protections which aren't offered in most popular browsers by default. Together these privacy essentials make more privacy your default.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
• Search with DuckDuckGo by Default — install, and we'll set your default search engine and homepage to DuckDuckGo Search so you can start your Internet searches without being tracked.
• Escape Website Trackers Before They Load — automatically stop most hidden trackers (3rd-party scripts) from loading, which prevents companies from collecting and using (e.g. sale, ads, etc.) any data from these trackers. Our cutting-edge tracker blocking technology goes well above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default.
• Automatically Enforce Encryption — force many sites you visit to automatically use an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, which helps shield your data from Wi-Fi snoopers and network onlookers like your Internet provider. Most popular browsers only direct users to encrypted versions of pages in specific circumstances, like when you navigate directly to a page in the address bar. We check our list of upgradable sites for all links you click.
• Enable Built-in Email Protection — Over 85% of emails sent to Duck Addresses contained trackers that can detect when you’ve opened a message, where you were when you opened it, and what device you were using. Email Protection makes it easy to block most email trackers and hide your existing address when signing up for things online, all without switching email providers.
• Escape Fingerprinting — helps stop companies from creating a unique identifier for you by blocking their attempts to combine specific information about your browser and device settings.
• Block Tracking Cookies — prevents most 3rd-party cookies from tracking you as you browse from site to site.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS NOT AVAILABLE ON MOST BROWSERS
• Link Tracking Protection — helps stop companies from gathering your browsing history and other information via personal identifiers embedded in the links you click on.
• Chrome’s New Tracking Tech Protection — stops Google from using your browser to collect and auction off your personal data with their latest advertising trackers and targeting (FLEDGE and Topics).
• Embedded Social Content Tracking Protection — blocks embedded Facebook content around the web so they can't track you through their videos, posts, and comments found on other sites. You can easily unblock to view them if desired.
• Google AMP Protection — forces sites to load content directly from publishers instead of using Google-owned links, which are full of creepy trackers.
• Signal Your Privacy Preference with Global Privacy Control (GPC) — built-into our app, GPC intends to help you express your opt-out rights automatically by telling websites not to sell or share your personal information. Whether it can be used to enforce your legal rights (for example, current or future CCPA, GDPR requirements) depends on the laws in your jurisdiction.
Note about our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection following DuckDuckGo ad clicks: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Protection goes above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default, but we’re constantly working to make it more comprehensive. Currently, if an advertiser wants to detect conversions on their own website for our private DuckDuckGo search ads, our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection will not stop bat.bing.com requests from loading on the advertiser’s website following DuckDuckGo ad clicks, but those requests are stopped in all other contexts. This is because DuckDuckGo private search advertising is in partnership with Microsoft. As part of that partnership, viewing ads on DuckDuckGo is anonymous and Microsoft has committed to not profile our users’ ad clicks.

That's how DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials delivers on our single-purpose promise to provide seamless privacy protection in Chrome. It’s privacy, simplified.

Latest reviews
- (2024-08-08) Luke: DDG has been a great addition to increasing one's privacy, and I applaud their stance on not collecting, storing, using, or selling personal information. Unfortunately, the "generate a private email address" option is stuck with the same private email address it generated a long time ago and will not generate new ones. It just produces the same one every time. Also, the extension is too "all or nothing." DDG breaks certain sites and doesn't allow content like reviews and discussions on other sites. Take a cue from the uBlock Origin extension and allow an easy to use single-click white list for sites.
- (2024-04-07) Anon _: Qué maravilla, no eres consciente de lo que nos controlan hasta que lo instalas y de el tiempo que te ahorras con los resultados de búsqueda de calidad.
- (2024-02-19) Dex Greenbright: While I like the privacy aspects, using the duckduckgo search engine turns up a disgusting amount of nazi imagery and racism, on top of generally unhelpful results. It has only gotten more egregious in the months I have tried using duckduckgo.
- (2023-10-25) Not Sure: Beznadziejne pod wieloma względami. Oprócz tego zmienia wyszukiwarkę cały czas.
- (2023-10-24) Natalie: Discovered DuckDuckGo and have not looked back. I have been using it for years. I am just an ordinary person, with nothing to hide, but I do value my privacy. I do not want anyone to track me or know what I have been looking at, and then send me dozens of ads and other stuff to complicate my life. To learn that Google are recording my searches and selling my personal data and information to advertisers and Dark Web users is truly outrageous and damned inconvenient. Plus it could cost me money. I do not want my identity stolen. DDG is the BEST. I have had NO problems with the Extension at all. It is simple to install, easy to use and the massive amounts of knowledge and education the Company provides to users has helped me to learn how to keep safe in ALL areas of internet usage. I really want to remain safe and private on the internet but was truly ignorant of HOW to achieve this, and DDG has provided simple, easy to follow steps to stay private and safe on both my Computer and my mobile. Thank you SO much for providing such a wonderful extension, and best of all DDG is FREE Many thanks and appreciation to all Staff at DDG and thank you all for promoting safety and privacy on the Internet here in Australia and worldwide. A very satisfied customer.
- (2023-10-23) Keir Briscoe: The anonymous email feature is great. However when the plugin is enabled it forces Duck Duck go as the default search engine. I do not want to use Duck Duck go as my search engine as it returns results that are not so good for me. So I have to keep enabling, and disabling the plugin. their developers blame google. Thats just lazy...
- (2023-10-16) Y2 K: 当アプリのバージョン2023.10.12(2023-10-16時点で最新) edgeのバージョン 118.0.2088.46(2023-10-16時点で最新) で拡張機能エラーが発生 不都合が今のところ出てないので今のところそのまま使用中
- (2023-10-09) Jose Leon: Guys go easy on it it said it would change your browser in the overview and its free protection so come this a good one if you dont want the search engine then why did you use it it said it would change the engine in overview also you can type in google.com in the search bar if you really need google.
- (2023-09-27) Flynn “wummiu” Sriracha: Tracks you
- (2023-09-27) Murat Kırbay: tekel arama motorlarının bizi hapsettiği bölge, alışveriş ve reklam cehenneminden çıkabildiğimiz mucize arama motoru.
- (2023-09-26) Judy Rohrer: I have used this and it's the best Iv'e have and I love it on three items i own
- (2023-09-20) Michael Kristensen: stop changing the layout of a new tab you inept muppets
- (2023-09-19) 山田内田: アンインストールするとレビューが掛けないので入れなおしてレビューを書いた。 まず、Googleアドオンのこのサイトがバグって検索ができないため使い物にならない。 GoogleMAPやGoogleCalenderが正常に使えないしリンクからしか起動できなくなった。
- (2023-09-07) Philipp D: stop changing my search engine, i did not ask for it at all!
- (2023-08-24) Cb58logan: Very good, if it didn't force ddg search.
- (2023-08-21) Utter568: 使用最多的功能就是它的随机邮箱别名，非常有利于保护隐私，其它的功能无感。但有个问题，它会与使用阿里云无痕验证功能的网站有冲突，导致无法登录，典型的比如少数派网站的登录。希望能尽快解决，我刚刚花了好几分钟一批一批扩展试着打开关闭，才发现这个问题。
- (2023-08-06) BeHappyBeVegan: Yes it's private but it's also very annoying.
- (2023-08-05) Black YouTube: блок рекламы ЧЮШЬ! нет смысла устанавливать это рашерение
- (2023-08-02) Alexander Sanin: Меня не столько беспокоит отслеживание моих действий в интернете Гуглом, Яндексом и Майкрософт, сколько удобство и достоверность поиска. В сущности, известный "информационный пузырь". Да, это расширение вывело меня из пузыря за пределы истории моих поисковых запросов и моего местоположения. Первый раз я испробовал поиск DuckDuckGo, когда искал информацию о баристорах в нужном для меня значении слова (технический термин). Этим поисковиком нашел, но лучший результат оказался у Яндекса, хотя и ему присущ информационный пузырь. Сегодня, установив расширение от Утки, я провел поиск по тому же баристору, Гуглом (без расширения) и даковским поисковиком. И Гугл оказался лучше! Не удивительно, поскольку он в ответ на критику пользователей улучшил алгоритм, чтобы уменьшить влияние перечисленных выше факторов. Кроме того в целом выдача от Гугла оказалась более организованной и системной, на одной странице больше результатов и она более удобочитаема, чем даковская. Очень плохое впечатление от последней. И Дак не понимает даже элементов от SQL запросов.Плюс за Гуглом стоит целая информационная среда (система), чего Дак вряд ли достигнет. Реклама и трекеры. Эффект от Дака есть и несомненный. Я постоянно пользуюсь одним весьма сложным (по графике, ссылкам и т.п. сайтом. Не буду называть из конфеденциальности. Под Даком он загрузился почти вдвое(!) скорее. Рекламные ссылки гасит хорошо, чуть хуже моего блокировщика. При просмотре видео на YouTube из 94 рекламных и прочих ссылок Дак отключил 70 и а блокировщик - оставшихся 24. Хотя не факт, что блокировщик обнаружил их все. Оперативная память. Занимает и резервирует до 20-25 МБ. Стоит того? Не уверен. В общем, я пришел к выводу, что мне это расширение ни к чему. Анонимность? Да что вы! Вся наша история и грехи лежат на серверах наших провайдеров. Потому колебался между оценкой в 3 и 4. Но за лапшу в поисковой выдаче решил поставить 3. И за смысловую лапшу и за ссылку на "Лапша" при поиске "баристора"
- (2023-07-20) Boris Perc: Odlična aplikacija - Superb app it works perfectly.
- (2023-07-19) 袁谷林: 如何设置语种呢？
- (2023-07-15) Oleksandra Grygorenko: Please, add Ukrainian region and Ukrainian language.
- (2023-07-11) Von Nickner: It forces the DuckDuckGo Search Engine onto you. You cannot change it unless you remove the extension. What a waste. Could have actually been a good extension. Google is better for general searches, DuckDuckGo when Google fails you.
- (2023-07-04) Martin Georgiev: Changing default search with no option to set it back is a no-no.
- (2023-07-04) Stéphane Busso: Why is this overriding the default search without asking? I installed the extension as it was required for other things not to take over my browser search.
- (2023-07-02) Mark Willis: Really great Google Chrome extension. However, it is causing dates to appear incorrectly in Zoho CRM - I eventually figured out DDG was the Google Chrome extension causing the problem and have had to disable this great browser extension completely because of this. I wish this extension allowed me to somehow exclude specific sites when the extension causes an issue. I hope DuckDuckGo gives us this option in the future and I will revise my review to five stars
- (2023-06-29) Randy Nilsson: Would like to see duck duck go provide maping services. Google has become totally useless for me.
- (2023-06-29) Courtney Graham: I used to love DuckDuckGo and the privacy it added. I like that I didn't have to think about all the advertisements and stuff that I may be targeted with, but over the past week or so, it has become disappointing. It slows down and gives me that a search cannot be completed, it won't reload, and I repeatedly have to check my connections to see if it's my wireless or the program. I don't know if the servers have been off line, but I can't do my work from home with these interruptions in data flow, so I'm having to stop using the extension until DuckDuckGo can get their stuff together.
- (2023-06-18) ersin karakadıoğlu: It's significantly slowing down web canvas games, please fix.
- (2023-06-15) Ken Worthy: It is currently interfering with use of Canvas Learning Management System (pages take a very long time to load). Must disable. I wish I could disable only for that system.
- (2023-06-15) ALF: No lo dudes ni un momento. Instala...
- (2023-06-01) andy gebb: very good!
- (2023-05-26) Paweł Samselski: Best privacy extension out there
- (2023-05-09) isalllifesucks bestrong: 不喜欢把搜索直接切换到DDG,主页没有搜索框显得很丑.
- (2023-05-08) Franz Bammer: Seit 5 Jahren keine Option die Suchmaschine auszuwählen. Schlecht. Ich mag den Service, aber lasst mich ddg eingeben wenn ich woanders suchen will.
- (2023-04-29) Memesios 10: it used to work fine but now it stays grayed out and when i click it, it's just blank
- (2023-04-28) Kévin Turmel: Superbe extension, cependant depuis les dernières versions, DuckDuckGo bloque des urls alors que celle-ci ne sont pas des trackings, faisant que certains sites deviennent inutilisables. DuckDuckGo bloque les urls de certains serveurs d'API de microsoft, comme Azure APIM par exemple. Il est également impossible de désactiver l'extension pour localhost !!! Malgré que celle-ci indique que les urls locales sont bien désactivées, DuckDuckgo continue de bloquer les urls sur localhost ! Même si j'ajoute 127.0.0.1, celui-ci bloque toujours localhost et 127.0.0.1 Cela fonctionne bien sur les urls non locales (comme les serveurs de production) une fois ajoutées dans les paramètres de l'application. Il reste cependant que l'extension bloque des urls faux positif ! Cela se produit que depuis 2 semaines/1-2 mois max
- (2023-04-26) Josh Klotia: it's such a good web browser
- (2023-04-18) Luke Eros: I like this extension a lot for its blocking capabilities but I DON'T like that it forces me to use ddg search engine from the address bar without the option to change it!
- (2023-04-07) Sergio Penagos: Muy buen buscador.
- (2023-03-31) Trina Holden: It won't let Zoom connect with Facebook. When the extension is enabled I can't go live on Facebook from Zoom. If I turn off the extension, it works fine.
- (2023-03-30) Mahadevan Subramanian: This DuckDuckGo extension blocks genuine sites like my.cigna.com that caters to a lot of people for their health insurance information. Multiple critical assets like "/public/digital-experience/js/common.js" are blocked unnecessarily and if it is blocked functionality of the website is affected. There is no customer support option to relay these concerns.
- (2023-03-25) mark astley: For some reason I'm now getting adverts or spam emails when i am using social media. WHY?????
- (2023-03-16) Fredrik Johansson: DuckDuckGo är en av världens bästa krypterade och säkraste sökning stället som finns.
- (2023-03-14) co mo: forced to use ddg as search engine, no way to cancel it except off the extention. what a suck way .
- (2023-03-10) Shiva Chronos: こいつを有効にしていると、Tくじや、dくじが引けなくなる。 引けないというか、ページが表示できなくなります。 なぜかサイトにアクセスできない時があって、管理者に問い合わせてください。とのメッセージが出て、原因を探したらこいつが原因でした。 効果は実感できないのに、デメリットだけ実感させられるのはストレスなので、アンインストールします。 オフにすれば表示できてくじを引けますし、おそらくサイトごとに設定を変えれば、使えるように出来るのかもしれません。が、その設定方法も分かりませんし、面倒くさいので、無くていいと思った次第です
- (2023-02-27) foursplays games: A search engine that does not track my privacy good job duckduckgo
- (2023-02-26) Sal Celli: Lo uso principalmente per avere un'informazione a 360 gradi visto che google censura i risultati delle ricerche
- (2023-02-25) 슬애기: Censored search engines and always inaccurate results.
- (2023-02-24) Михайло: Please add the Ukrainian region. Add ukrainian language.
