Anti-tracking search engine DuckDuckGo has launched a fully revamped version of its browser extension & mobile app, extending DuckDuckGo’s protection beyond the search box to wherever the Internet takes you.
According to a post on its official blog, this was a “major step” to simplify Online privacy with the launch of fully revamped versions of its browser extension & mobile app, now with built-in tracker network blocking, smarter encryption, &, of course, private search – all designed to operate seamlessly together while users search & browse the Web. The updated app & extension are now available across all major platforms – Firefox, Safari, Chrome, iOS, & Android.
The DuckDuckGo browser extension and mobile app will also now show you a Privacy Grade rating (A-F) when you visit a website. This rating lets you see at a glance how protected you are, dig into the details to see who we caught trying to track you, and learn how we enhanced the underlying website’s privacy measures. The Privacy Grade is scored automatically based on the prevalence of hidden tracker networks, encryption availability, and website privacy practices.
