The DuckDuckGo browser’s built-in Scam Blocker guards against phishing sites, malware, and other common online scams. It’s on by default, so you’re protected as soon as you open the browser.
NEW: Scam Blocker now also covers sham e-commerce sites, fake cryptocurrency exchanges, “scareware” that falsely claims your device has a virus, and other sites known to advertise fake products or services.
Most browsers use Google tools for their phishing and malware protections, sending browsing data to Google in real time. We don’t. We designed Scam Blocker ourselves, with data from Netcraft, an independent cybersecurity company. Our scam protections don’t require an account, and we don’t share your browsing data with third parties.
Scam Blocker is available for free within the DuckDuckGo browser on desktop and mobile.
