The DuckDuckGo Browser: Fresh New Look, Same Great Protections, AI Optional
Have you been using the DuckDuckGo browser for a while? If so, you may have noticed a few changes around here! As you navigate through the browser, you’ll notice redesigned icons, a softer, rounder interface, and a fresh color palette. Moving between desktop and mobile is more seamless than ever. And new interactive elements show you exactly how DuckDuckGo is protecting you.
Fresh Visuals, Seamless Protection
We’ve updated our browser’s visual design with a new color palette and softer, rounder shapes, including new icons that we designed in-house. This new look reflects what we believe the internet should feel like with real privacy protection: calm instead of chaotic, streamlined instead of cluttered, secure instead of surveilled.
Hit the green duck-foot shield in the redesigned address bar for real-time information about our tracking protections. Use the redesigned Fire Button to delete your browsing data with one click. Other changes you’ll notice include smoother, softer tab lines and a roomier address bar.
Private, Useful, and Optional AI
We’ve also made it easier than ever to access our private, useful, and optional AI features. Add a Duck.ai button to your URL bar for quick access to free, anonymized AI chats – available on both desktop and mobile.
These new buttons join several other convenient access points. On iOS, get to Duck.ai via Siri shortcut or widgets for your Lock Screen and Control Center. On Android, you find a shortcut by pressing and holding the DuckDuckGo app icon. (There’s also a Duck.ai button on our search results page when you visit duckduckgo.com, which can be toggled on and off here.)
Don’t use Duck.ai? You can disable the feature and hide the buttons in your browser’s Settings menu.
