DuckDuckGo Private Browser vs Firefox Fast & Private Browser Usage & Stats
DuckDuckGo is a free browser that provides the most comprehensive online privacy protection in one app. Unlike most popular browsers, it has powerful privacy protections by default, including our search engine that doesn’t track your history and over a dozen other built-in protections. Millions of people use DuckDuckGo as their go-to browser to protect their everyday online activities, from searching to browsing, emailing, and more.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
Search Privately by Default: DuckDuckGo Private Search comes built-in, so you can easily search online without being tracked.
Block Most Trackers Before They Load: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection exceeds what most popular browsers offer by default.
Enable Built-in Email Protection: Block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses.
Automatically Enforce Encryption: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by forcing many sites to use an HTTPS connection.
Protect Your Privacy in Other Apps: Block most hidden app trackers in other apps day or night, and prevent 3rd-party companies from invading your privacy with App Tracking Protection. This feature uses a VPN connection, but is not a VPN. It works locally on your device and does not collect personal data.
Escape Fingerprinting: Make it harder for companies to create a unique identifier for you by blocking attempts to combine info about your browser and device.
We feature many protections not available on most browsers, even in private browsing mode, including protection from link tracking, AMP tracking, and more.

Get the browser that prioritizes people over profits
It’s a new era in tech. Don’t settle for a browser made by unethical, profit-driven, data-hoarding companies. By choosing Firefox, you support the non-profit Mozilla Foundation whose mission is to build a better internet — one that puts individual and public benefit over commercial profit.
What Firefox offers:
✔ PRIVACY-FOCUSED BROWSING
• Automatic tracker blocking — By default, Firefox blocks trackers and scripts such as social media trackers, cross-site cookie trackers, crypto-miners and fingerprinters.
• Enhanced tracking protection — Choose the “strict” setting and get even more privacy protections.
• Private browsing mode — When you close private mode, your browsing history is automatically erased from your device.
✔ EASY-TO-USE TABS
• Find what you want quickly — create as many tabs as you like without losing track.
• See your open tabs as thumbnails or a list view.
• See tabs from your phone on your desktop and vice versa — or choose to keep them separate.
✔ PASSWORD MANAGEMENT
• Log into sites easily — Firefox remembers your passwords across devices.
• Firefox suggests passwords for new log-ins and stores them securely.
✔ LIGHTNING-FAST PAGE LOADS
• Enhanced Tracking Protection automatically blocks online trackers from following you around the web and slowing down your pages.
✔ TAILORED SEARCH OPTIONS
• Get suggestions and previously searched results in the search bar so you can quickly access the sites you visit most.
• Move the search bar location from the top to the bottom of the screen, making it easier to use with one hand.
• Use the Firefox search widget to search the web directly from your device’s home screen.
• See the recent searches you’ve done on other devices for seamless searching across mobile, desktop and more.
✔ CUSTOMIZE YOUR FIREFOX EXPERIENCE
• Get helpful add-on extensions, including ways to block ads, block certain webpages, turbo-charge privacy settings and more.
✔ FIREFOX HOME SCREEN
• Access your recent bookmarks, top sites and see popular articles from across the internet, recommended by Pocket, which is part of Mozilla.
✔ SAVE BATTERY WITH DARK MODE
Switch to dark mode any time, reducing eye strain and prolonging your battery power.
✔ WATCH VIDEOS WHILE YOU MULTITASK
• Pop videos out of their webpages or players and pin them to the top of your phone’s screen to watch while you surf the web and do other things.
✔ SHARE ANYTHING IN A FEW TAPS
• Share links to web pages or specific items on a page with easy, quick access to your most recently used apps.
