### "Duck Duck Go is the way to Go"

July 31, 2025

5.0

Best browsing experience yet. Duck Duck Go, rises above all other browsers on the market. I rank it number one and give it two thumbs up.

Pros

Instant connection, as soon as I select what I'm browsing, I'm there. no waiting, no lagging. Easy to use. Love the simplicity of this browser.

Cons

There's only one thing I can say that I don't like about this browser. The graphics and appearance, seem a little out dated.

### "Duck Duck Go Review"

May 30, 2025

4.0

I don't use it often, but the times I have been more than fine. Privacy, and nothing has come back to bite me.

Pros

Because nothing is perfect - but this is one of the better engines. It totally focuses on user privacy. 100%. I really love the fact that there is an option to connect to different domains around the world, and there is this flame button that deletes (and I mean really deletes) info, so one can bounce around, however.

Cons

Less personalized and sometimes less relevant results. In this regard, google is way better, even though that sometimes provides an overabundance of answers. But with this, is less results in which one has to put in more effort.

### "A good companion to limit data tracking"

September 22, 2024

5.0

A strong light fast browser that support you in the need of privacy and data management when you do not want to be tracked

Pros

Privacy along your web experience for peace of mind

Cons

Sometimes some websites present need to be verified on the most popular browsers

Alternatives considered

[Opera](https://www.capterra.com/p/229024/Opera/)

Reason for choosing DuckDuckGo

Although I consider Opera a better choice in general, Duck Duck Go offers an easier and faster approach in private browsing and history management

### "Duckduckgo and the location focus search "

November 11, 2024

4.0

I started using because of a collegue at school who presented to me and I try it and whenever i felt that I wanted to restrictions on my search I used it

Pros

The ability to select the location that you focusing your results or research it's nice. Instead of trying to use vpn on our side it's great.

Cons

It's not that much recommend I guess they should work on marketing.

April 4, 2024

4.0

Pros

I appreciate that DuckDuckGo values privacy. being able to feel secure that my personal information is being protected without sacrificing the efficacy of the search.

Cons

I use translate often and I find the interface not as appealing as Google Translate. Otherwise I have no complaints at all and primarily use DuckDuckGo as my search browser

### "Go With DuckDuckGo"

July 7, 2025

5.0

Overall, I really enjoy this browser. It's nice that it keeps my privacy and is very functional. I really like this program.

Pros

I like that it protects my privacy and that I can erase my browsing history very quickly if I want to do so.

Cons

I really don't have any complaints about DuckDuckGo. The only down side is that sometimes it doesn't integrate well with all the other programs.

### "Le canard qui ne diffuse pas vos infos dans tous les couin couin "

June 18, 2024

5.0

J'utilise DuckDuckGo depuis longtemps c'est un des navigateurs les plus rapides sur mobile, les connexions aux sites sont encryptées en 256 bits et chaque fois que vous naviguez sur un site, il est possible de voir les trackers bloquées automatiquement et d'effacer l'historique en deux touches. Le navigateur dispose aussi d'un gestionnaire de mots de passe.

Pros

Focus sur la navigation privée avec protection contre les trackers cachée et les recherches privées. Fonction d'alias pour courriels très pratique pour masquer votre courriel avec une adresse duck.com

Cons

L'import des bookmarks d'autres navigateurs n'est pas très intuitive. La version mobile des sites n'indique pas les logos des sites comme c'est le cas sur Safari mobile.
