Comments on DuckDuckGo, optional Duck.ai for Android

★★★★☆ Akil R. · Jul 17, 2026
I like the privacy protection that the app has built into the downloadable browser/browser extensions. Compared to Google, I feel that I can trust the instant answer feature. I ask the Duck.ai questions, and it answers my question without me having to sort through a bunch of bogus responses that have nothing to do with the question that I initially asked. The email protection feature could be a bit more user-friendly. But for the multiple privacy related features, I definitely prefer this app.
★★★★★ Butch Thompson Mairose · Jun 28, 2026
I've had duck go for a couple of years now. We like the fact that they Block Trackers and let us know. They also block sites they believe to be Scams or not Safe, also letting us know.
★★★★★ User · Jul 17, 2026
**App Tracking Protection!!!!** -must turn this on. Found so many Trackers of various companies in apps even when not opened! Asking for things like GPS location, battery level, screen resolutions and many more. >The UI is nice >The fire animation is goated.{It means deleting all the history of one or more tabs} >Also, default add blocker. >Options for AI and normal search or only normal search. >options for hiding AI generated photos etc.
★★★★★ Marilyn XRSZ · Jul 12, 2026
Been with DDG since they came online. My only regret is not contributing more $ for development etc. to keep you out of Googles domain. I don't trust them but still stay loyal to DDG & pray I'm OK.
★★☆☆☆ Jason Palm · Jul 8, 2026
Fix the update. I hate that you have to press back twice just to get to the bookmarks. I use bookmarks a million times a day. If I want to type something I'll go to the search bar myself
★★☆☆☆ Akhilesh Keerthi · Jul 12, 2026
The slowest browser out there after being so successful, they still can't pull of the rendering or speed aspect.lol! Lol lol!
★☆☆☆☆ X X · Jul 17, 2026
Update includes Translation and about. Both are AI driven making Duck go a human health hazard.
★★☆☆☆ Todd · Jul 17, 2026
So far I like. Search engine better than some browser. Fire fox browser keep crashing locking up on my cell. I don't like Google no privacy. Plus think Google track where u been to send junk email etc. The search at rine bring nothing up especially when I use microphone in app. I had more than 5x nothing came up regardless ID what search engine I used. This why lover rating. Speech recognition does very poor job.
