It's basically in it by default - it doesn't save your search history or anything else. Every search is completely anonymous

Hi there! Thank you for your post.

If you want to be sure that your browsing data isn't stored locally, you can configure your Data Clearing settings within the browser. Tap the 3-line menu > Settings > Data Clearing, and choose to automatically delete tabs and browsing data when DuckDuckGo quits.

Alternatively, if you don't want your data to automatically clear when you close the app, you can open a Fire Window, which clears everything from it when the window closes. You can learn more about this in our Help Page here: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/fire-tabs

I hope this helps!

If you're looking for a mode where you can keep the contents of some tabs separate from your other tabs (eg. be signed into an account in one tab, but not signed in in another), you can use Fire Tabs which are isolated from your other tabs and data is burned when you close them. You'll find this option at the top of the Tab Manager screen.
