Our take
Companies are making money off of people's private information online without your consent. DuckDuckGo believe the internet shouldn't be this invasive and that getting the privacy you deserve online should be an easily accessible option.
With the company's Privacy Essentials desktop browser extension for Safari, Firefox, & Chrome and the mobile DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser for iOS & Android users can block trackers, secure connections, and search anonymously, so they are protected on any device, wherever.
The company's app is now downloaded more than 50M times a year, and its private search engine has become the #2 search engine on mobile in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the Netherlands. DuckDuckGo's next steps include a roll out of a suite of new privacy solutions, including Email Protection, App Tracking Protection and its first-ever Desktop Apps for Mac and Windows.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at DuckDuckGo
- At DuckDuckGo, our vision is to raise the standard of trust online, and our mission is to show the world that protecting privacy is simple. Having a diverse, inclusive, and equitable team is critical to achieving those goals
- Online privacy abuses make the Internet worse for everyone by weaponizing our personal data in ways that create exploitation, discrimination, polarization, and chilling effects, among other problems. We can't build world-class solutions to these problems without a world-class team. That is why we seek to recruit, retain, and support the continued growth of talented and high-performing people of all different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences
- Our commitment to embracing diversity and empowering all team members is rooted in our core values: build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction. The willingness to validate direction by engaging in the sometimes uncomfortable process of questioning each other's assumptions and being questioned ourselves can only exist in a trusted space — an inclusive and welcoming environment — which is critical to rejecting bias and building a world-class, globally-used product
