Exceptional protections, fully functioning browser, alright search results. I love that I'm not being tracked, the lack of ubiquitous ads, and the fact that it actually loads every single page I've been to correctly (not gonna call anyone out. You know who you are.) Search results with DDG are not quite as good as using Google, but for most searches, it's acceptable. Edited

It works perfectly on my desktop, but when I want to use it on my phone, it opens to my last search instead of a new search bar. Very annoying! Then it seems I have to go through a bit of an ordeal to get to the new search bar. Also, as in this review, it doesn't give automatic capital letters after end-of-sentense punctuation. Edited

edit to add: -1 star They added an AI feature which is the thing I trying to get away from with Google. I installed Duck Duck Go to work on migrating away from Google products. The cookie blocker is nice and I've enjoyed being able to search for silly things without having all my ads turn into that topic. Unfortunately, their search engine is awful. Almost all the results I get end up being people's personal blogs or some 3rd rate website that scraped data from a more reputable source. Edited

Overall I feel DDG does a good job there is one thing I think could be improved and that is the ad blocking. I wish it was a bit more aggressive or let us download extensions to customize it further. The app tracking protection is awesome! definitely use this you'll be shocked at how many of your apps track you behind the scenes.

Pretty good browser. I was pleased to finally commit to a private browser. Then, I did some online shopping and suddenly had nothing but ads for that item on my app. Really displeased with the main feature I downloaded this for. ***EDIT I've used this about two months now, and I'm switching to another browser. My data is sold faster than when using Chrome, there's no saved history, and pressing "back" when in a tab usually jumps you to a new search rather than going back to the previous page. Edited
