What is DuckDuckGo?

DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focused search engine that does not track users or store personal information. Unlike other major search engines, DuckDuckGo does not create user profiles, serve personalized ads, or follow users across the web. This makes it a popular choice for privacy-conscious users, organizations that prioritize data security, and anyone who wants unbiased search results free from the filter bubble effect.

DuckDuckGo search URLs follow a straightforward structure using query parameters, making it easy to construct direct links to specific searches. These links can include advanced options like safe search settings and site-specific filtering, all encoded directly in the URL.
