Unlike Chrome and other browsers, our free, go-to browser comes with over a dozen powerful privacy protections built-in, including our search engine that replaces Google and doesn't track your search history, and our best-in-class tracker blocker that blocks cookies and creepy ads that follow you around. This unique combination of free protections makes our browser the most comprehensive privacy protection you can get with one download.

In addition, we also offer [Privacy Pro]({{ site.baseurl}}/privacy-pro/), a three-in-one subscription service, integrated into our browser. Subscribers to the Privacy Pro add-on get even more privacy protection with a fast and simple [VPN]({{ site.baseurl }}/privacy-pro/vpn/), a [Personal Information Removal]({{ site.baseurl }}/privacy-pro/personal-information-removal) service, and an [Identity Theft Restoration]({{ site.baseurl}}/privacy-pro/identity-theft-restoration) service.

Every day, tens of millions of people rely on DuckDuckGo to protect their online activities, from searching to browsing, emailing, and more. The DuckDuckGo browser, including the Privacy Pro subscription (an optional, paid add-on), is available for download on desktop and mobile devices ({% include ddg-browser-os-list-linked.md %}). Our private search engine is built into the DuckDuckGo browser, but it can also be accessed independently at duckduckgo.com or as a built-in option on other popular browsers.

If you’re like most people on the Internet, you use Google to search the web and Google Chrome to browse the web. That means by default Google can keep track of every single search you make and website you visit. On those websites, other companies may also track you.

DuckDuckGo is an independent Google alternative that also lets you search and browse the web, but we don’t track your searches or browsing history, and our <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}/get-duckduckgo/does-duckduckgo-make-a-browser/">browsers</a> and <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}/desktop/adding-duckduckgo-to-your-browser/">extensions</a> help you block other companies from trying to track you as well, all by default.

## Private ads on our search engine

It is a myth that search engines need to track you to make money. The majority of our revenue is from private ads on our search engine. On most other search engines, ads are based on profiles compiled from your personal information, such as search, browsing, and purchase history. Since we don’t have that information per our [Privacy Policy](https://duckduckgo.com/privacy), search ads on DuckDuckGo are based on the search results page you’re viewing instead of being based on who other companies and their tracking algorithms assume you are as a person. For example, if you search for cars, we’ll show you ads about cars. We’ve even created a way to show localized ads while still keeping you completely anonymous. See the <a href="{{site.baseurl}}/privacy/anonymous-localized-results/">Anonymous Localized Results</a> help page for more information on how we do this technically.

Advertising on DuckDuckGo takes the form of sponsored links that appear adjacent to search results. Viewing ads is privacy protected by DuckDuckGo and most ad clicks are managed by Microsoft’s ad network, though <a href="{{site.baseurl}}/company/ads-by-microsoft-on-duckduckgo-private-search/">even in that case</a>, “Microsoft Advertising does not associate your ad-click behavior with a user profile. It also does not store or share that information other than for accounting purposes.” We have a similar arrangement with TripAdvisor.
