This page needs its stylesheet to be shown

The app listing, the version table and the download step are laid out by this site’s stylesheet. With stylesheets switched off, or blocked before they arrive, none of that layout exists, so the page is not shown.

Allow CSS for this site — including in any content blocker or privacy extension that may be stopping it — then reload the page.

What DuckDuckGo is and who it suits

DuckDuckGo is a search engine and mobile browser built around keeping personal information from being collected. Its search engine is set up as the default search, and the browser is the part you use to load websites, with privacy protections switched on from the start.

The Play listing shows a 4.69 average from about 2.28 million ratings and more than 50 million installs. It suits people who would rather not have their searches and browsing tied to a profile, and who want a browser that handles ads and tracking scripts without extra setup.
