Hello, My DuckDuckGo app on my iPhone crashed today. (4 reports in iphone analytics) It will only open through your news email & walgreens-open the link. (I usually copied the link, but that didn't work. When open the app won't close the usual way deleting tabs. Also, I don't see any of my bookmarks. I last backed up my phone about 10 days ago before updating the ios. I hope you can help me fix it. Sincerely, Ann

I got an email from this western Health. I sent a request to stop sending emails. I noticed on my home screen they were able to download an app onto my phone, I guess from the email I clicked on. The really strange thing is when I try to delete the app it goes straight to duckduckgo app to delete your app. I can't get it off. What the heck is going on? Will you please contact me directly about what to do? I have screenshots Thanks Tracie

Since an update from you in March, I have been unable to obtain videos from my site apps. E.g. on MSNBC, some news items have not opened to a video of a story, like a portion of an evening show . My phone is a Samsung Android. A local help center says it's not from Samsung.

Using DuckDuckGo Browser on Android Tablet for Web-based twitch stream usage - recently ANY of the functional scrips on the site(s) stopped working completely. Since it can be reproduced on another device with also updated the browser app, it seems to be (at least) related to the recent version(s) of it. (cant clearly find out which update it broke)

Yes, I can't seem to open the browser. When trying to open it, the blue line at the top just goes half way and then stops. Not all the way to the end like it should do. Please help

my safari duckduckgo mail box changed to yahoo mail box

By Colleen Camp   1 year ago


My e-mail client (XFinity Connect) keeps incessantly rebooting when using the DuckDuckGo browser and is often unusable on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, but I have no problems using my Safari browser. Tonight XFinity reset my modem and ran a troubleshooter and it seems as if the problem lies with the DuckDuckGo browser…. Can you please help? I have had this issue for approximately two weeks - I believe.

About this app

With DuckDuckGo, privacy can be your default. • Search Privately - DuckDuckGo Private Search comes built-in so you can search the web without being tracked. • Block Tracking Cookies — Prevent most 3rd-party cookies from tracking you as you browse from site to site. • Escape Website Trackers Before They Load - We automatically stop most hidden trackers (3rd-party scripts) from loading, which prevents companies from collecting and using any personal data from these trackers.  Our cutting-edge tracker blocking technology – called 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection – goes above and beyond what you get in most popular browsers by default. • Automatically Enforce Encryption - Smarter Encryption forces many sites you visit in DuckDuckGo to use an encrypted (HTTPS) connection where available, protecting your data from prying eyes. • Block Email Trackers - 70% of emails track you as soon as you open them.  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.  Taking control of your privacy doesn't have to mean making tradeoffs. • Tap Fire Button, Burn Data - Clear your tabs and browsing data with one tap of the Fire Button. • Signal Your Privacy Preference with GPC - Built into DuckDuckGoPrivateBrowser , Global Privacy Control (GPC) intends to help you express your legal opt-out rights automatically.  With one download you get a new everyday browser that offers seamless protections from most third-party trackers while you search and browse, and access to tracking protections when receiving email.  The DuckDuckGo app has the browsing features you expect, like tabs and bookmarks, plus privacy controls you'll love.  DuckDuckGo is the all-in-one privacy app that helps protect your online activities.  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.  This is because DuckDuckGo private search advertising is in partnership with Microsoft.  Enabling Email Protection is the easy way to block most email trackers and hide your address without switching services.  Join the millions of people using DuckDuckGo and protect many of your everyday online activities with one app.  As part of that partnership, viewing ads on DuckDuckGo is anonymous and Microsoft has committed to not profile our users’ ad clicks.  This will tell websites not to sell or share your personal information under future legal frameworks (e. g. , CCPA, GDPR) in various states or countries.  You don't need to wait to take back your privacy.  It's privacy, simplified.
