You would like to have a second browser for your iPhone or iPad, which is extremely easy to use, but also takes care of your privacy? Then we recommend DuckDuckGo for iOS.
We really liked the browser app of the search engine that has dedicated itself to privacy. One reason for this is that the company and therefore the app respects your data. In contrast to Google, which tracks pretty much everything that isn’t on three trees, DuckDuckGo has no interest in evaluating your data. The monetization model is different: they only earn on the ads that appear in search results. A longer storage of your search data does not take place.
The iOS App does the same. Of course the search engine DuckDuckGo is here. Furthermore, the app blocks built-in trackers on websites. There are two of them on our website: Google Analytics and an affiliate network. So we have used so little for a meaningful operation we possible. But if you surf around on large news sites, you will notice that your surfing data is sometimes passed on to 50 companies. The iOS DuckDuckGo browser can block this access.
In addition, at the end of your surfing session you can use the Fire button to make everything go up in smoke: all the data that has accumulated up to then will simply be destroyed. It is also possible to start the app on the iPhone only after entering your code or Touch or Face ID.
Besides these very useful functions, which are extremely useful if you just don’t want to be glass because you’re looking for birthday presents, information about your chronic illness or simply visit sites that don’t concern anyone, we also liked the usability very much: The browser offers all necessary functions in a very simple and nice to look package. Therefore it is also recommendable if you are looking for a very easy to use browser.
