Big news today for iPhone and iPad users who are tired of the constant tracking, ad targeting, and manipulation on the Internet: #iOS14 (rolling out today) now allows you to set DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser as your default browser and search app.
spreadprivacy.com/duckduckgo-pri…
This is a huge moment for privacy on iOS because it means for the first time users can make privacy the default while surfing the web, both through having our app open automatically when you click on links, and also directly from your home screen through new #iOS14 widgets.
Our mobile browser allows you to search & browse privately, including blocking trackers from loading (as opposed to just no cookies), using encryption on more sites, clearing data with one tap & more — all for free.

Go #DuckByDefault in #iOS14 today: duckduckgo.com/app

NEW: Meet DuckAssist (beta), an AI-assisted search Instant Answer that uses Wikipedia to answer questions. 🪄

DuckAssist is:
✔️ Free (no sign-up required!)
✔️ Completely anonymous and private
✔️ Available now in our browsers and extensions

Learn more 👇 spreadprivacy.com/duckassist-lau…
DuckAssist is live in our search results from within our DuckDuckGo browsing apps (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows) and browser extensions (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge). If this trial period goes well, we expect to roll it out to all search results (outside our apps) soon.
How it works:

If you ask a question in our search box that can be answered by Wikipedia, DuckAssist may appear and use AI natural language technology to anonymously generate a brief, sourced summary of what it finds — right above our regular private search results.

We believe online privacy should be simple and accessible to everyone. Period. Our Founder and CEO @yegg wrote about all the progress we made in 2021 making it easy for people to take back their privacy now with one download.

spreadprivacy.com/duckduckgo-202…
From improvements to search, tracker blocking, and our mobile app, to new features like Email Protection and App Tracking Protection, we're building a simple privacy layer for how people use the Internet today, without any tradeoffs. It’s privacy, simplified.
Product improvements have fueled our growth, making DuckDuckGo the most downloaded browsing app on Android in our major markets, #2 on iOS, and resulting in 150M+ downloads of our apps & extensions since 2018.

To fend off antitrust complaints, Google has often claimed search competition is “only one click away.” Nope.

In reality, it takes 15+ clicks to make DuckDuckGo Search (or any other alternative) the default on Android devices.

Google does this on purpose to block competition. There is no reason it should take 15+ clicks to set a new default search engine on Android. It is actually possible in 1 click with a properly designed search preference menu. Screenshots of DuckDuckGo's...
Google uses its browser/OS to maintain their dominance in the search market. Our search preference menu recommendation would increase search market competition by at least 20% through releasing pent-up demand due to Google’s anticompetitive tactics.

The Q4 2020 results of Google’s search preference menu auction have been released and, as we predicted, DuckDuckGo has been eliminated in most countries.

spreadprivacy.com/search-prefere…
This EU antitrust remedy is rigged by Google, with its mobile market share still 97%. By contrast, our proposal could move its marketshare more than 20%.

spreadprivacy.com/search-prefere…
Google designed the auction to box out alternative search engines that put people and their privacy ahead of profits. These are the alternatives people want to use the most and pose the biggest threat to Google's data-hungry surveillance business model.

Google says search competition is a click away, but that's not true. On Android & elsewhere are many barriers to switching. Our new research shows that if competition is really a click away, Google's mobile market share would immediately drop by 20%.

This is the first large-scale live testing of search preference menus in the U.S., U.K., and Australia. With Google's mobile market share above 95%, search preference menus would finally bring some real competition and allow people to easily search privately. DuckDuckGo's proposed desig...
It also shows people will scroll to check out their options before making a search engine selection, meaning Google should be placed on the last screen of any search preference menu. User testing heatmap of our...

How is Google still able to delay competition regulation and extract money from competitors at the same time? Let's talk about today's results from the EU Android search preference menu auction: android.com/choicescreen-w…
What we predicted would happen is happening (with this pay-to-play auction format):
- Search competitors ⬇️ by 33% (w/ no Qwant in France, no Yandex in Eastern EU)
- Prices ⬆️ (now extracting even more money from remaining competitors)
We asked Google and the EC to delay this second auction because the first preference one never even got off the ground! But Google was undeterred -- they are getting more of what they wanted all along: less competitors, higher prices.
