## About DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo, at [duckduckgo.com](<https://duckduckgo.com/>), calls itself the internet privacy company. The homepage search box says Search privately. A note on the page offers a toggle for private AI chat, or a way to disable AI in settings, and says the chat uses popular AI models and is anonymized by DuckDuckGo.

You can set DuckDuckGo as the default search engine, or add the browser extension, which the homepage says blocks web trackers. The homepage says it is trusted by tens of millions of people worldwide. That figure is DuckDuckGo's.

[noai.duckduckgo.com](<https://noai.duckduckgo.com/>) is DuckDuckGo search with AI features turned off. Its own description says you get the classic results, and that it stays private. DuckDuckGo also has its own AI features, including [duck.ai](<https://duck.ai/>), and settings to turn them down or off. Search itself is free.

Pricing: DuckDuckGo search is free. https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ is the same search with AI features turned off. Checked November 9, 2026.
