DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focused search provider that serves more than 15 million users worldwide. Unlike most popular as well as suspicious search engines, DuckDuckGo does not track users' searchers and their personal details. Thus, this tool might be a great alternative for those who want privacy.
However, DuckDuckGo might also be set as a default homepage unintentionally - you might have installed a potentially unwanted application that performed this change.
To remove DuckDuckGo from your web browser, you can follow the instructions we provide in our article dedicated to the engine. Just to be sure your computer is not affected by the potentially unwanted program, scan it with anti-malware software.
If you have nothing shady installed, perform these actions on Google Chrome to get rid of DuckDuckGo search engine:
1. Click on three vertical dots at the top-right of the window (top-left if you are using Mac)
2. Select Settings
3. Scroll down and locate the "Search engine" section
4. From the drop-down menu, select Google or another search engine you prefer.
Good luck
