Mobile App: Burn, Flush, or Blow Private Data AwayĪccording to our conversations with users, one of the things they love most about our mobile app for iOS and Android is our Fire Button. We also rolled out Global Privacy Control across all platforms and maintained our best-in-class Smarter Encryption data set. In addition, we continued to strengthen our core Tracker Radar data set through more crawling and testing, including looking out for CNAME cloaking (where third-parties pretend they are first-parties). We also spent a lot of time this year ensuring our tracker blocking doesn’t break sites by setting up and launching a continuous process to receive and react to breakage feedback from users in real-time.

Extension users have loved this update since it gives them more privacy and transparency at the same time, and we plan to both expand on it and bring it to our mobile app in 2022. This year our browser extension got a new feature that identifies this content from Facebook, blocks it on websites before it loads, and gives users the choice to load the content if they want to. Sometimes trackers aren’t exactly hidden though: they can also be associated with embedded content on pages, like posts, comments, and other content from Facebook. Most tracking protection just restricts trackers after they load, which can still leak your information. Unlike tracking protection from the major browsers, we block hidden trackers before they load. Tracker Blocking: Extending Blocking to Embedded Facebook Content You can expect even more search improvements in the coming year. Some other improvements we made include a new translations instant answer, revamped definitions and weather answers, custom date range filtering, more filters on images, and improvements to advanced search. We revamped our search results page to give it a more simple and modern design, and continued to refine and improve our local, maps, and directions results. If you tried our search engine a few years ago, but could only go part-time then, you should really give us another shot in 2022. This year we made a lot of improvements to our search results. Private Search: Better Results, Updated Design, Same Privacy. Join the waitlist through the DuckDuckGo Android app to give it a try!
