DuckDuckGo for Firefox

By DuckDuckGo Free

Developer's Description

At DuckDuckGo, we believe the Internet shouldn't feel so creepy, and getting the privacy you deserve online should be as simple as closing the blinds.

Our add-on provides the privacy essentials you need to seamlessly take control of your personal information, no matter where the Internet takes you:

  • Escape Advertising Tracker Networks Ã?¢?? Our Privacy Protection will block all the hidden third-party trackers we can find, exposing the major advertising networks tracking you over time, so that you can track who's trying to track you.
  • Increase Encryption Protection Ã?¢?? We force sites to use an encrypted connection where available, protecting your data from prying eyes, like ISPs.
  • Search Privately Ã?¢?? You share your most personal information with your search engine, like your financial, medical, and political questions. What you search for is your own business, which is why DuckDuckGo search doesn't track you. Ever.
  • Decode Privacy Policies Ã?¢?? We've partnered with Terms of Service Didn't Read to include their scores and labels of website terms of service and privacy policies, where available.

Our add-on also adds a toolbar icon that shows you a Privacy Grade rating when you visit a website (A-F). This rating lets you see how protected you are at a glance, dig into the details to see who we caught trying to track you, and learn how we enhanced the underlying site's privacy measures. The Privacy Grade is scored automatically based on the prevalence of hidden tracker networks, encryption availability, and website privacy practices.

Too many people believe you simply can�¢??t expect privacy on the Internet. We're fighting to change that, and have made it our mission to set a new standard of trust online. Install DuckDuckGo and take back your privacy!
