DuckDuckGo Guides is an independent, educational website that explains general concepts around private search and browsing: how DuckDuckGo's search approach works, what its browser features typically do, and how to troubleshoot common issues.
DuckDuckGo Guides is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by DuckDuckGo Inc. "DuckDuckGo" is a trademark of its respective owner, referenced here only for descriptive and educational purposes.
We don't process payments, we don't manage accounts, and we don't provide official customer support. For anything account-specific — subscriptions, billing, or app downloads — please use DuckDuckGo's official app, website, or support channels.
Our approach
- We write in general, plain language rather than reproducing another company's exact marketing copy.
- We flag where specific details (like subscription pricing or feature availability) can change, instead of presenting them as permanent facts.
- We never ask visitors for passwords, account numbers, or payment details.
