The browser uses DuckDuckGo’s private search engine as the default option, blocks ad trackers on each site you visit, and shows how many have been blocked. “We don't track our users-that is our privacy policy,” Burger-Lenehan says. Since the launch of its anti-Google search engine back in 2008, DuckDuckGo’s web browser continues the company’s principle of not collecting your data, says Beah Burger-Lenehan, the product manager for the Mac app. The desktop app, which is being released in beta, comes years after the company launched its Android and iOS browsers, and it continues its push to create a suite of privacy-first web tools. Today the privacy-oriented company DuckDuckGo is debuting its first desktop web browser, DuckDuckGo for Mac.
There are other options though-and the list of Chrome’s browser rivals just got a tiny bit longer. Right now 63 percent of people use Chrome on their phone, and the figure rises to 67 percent on desktop.
Since then the web browser has become almost unstoppable: Chrome is one of Google’s most powerful data collection tools and the world’s most dominant browser. In the coming months they plan to launch a private list to access the test.When Google launched Chrome back in 2008, it changed the web overnight. The company has confirmed that it is still working on DuckDuckGo for Windows, which is currently in a closed beta.
This web application also incorporates pop-up cookie protectionsinternal email protection, and ‘Fire Button’which with a single click instantly deletes all recent browsing history that is stored locally. In addition to blocking third-party trackers, the new DuckDuckGo for Mac removes the blank space left by ads removed by that blocker, without having to resort to an external tool. This tool can be enabled at any time, even for specific videos, and acts when the user clicks a link that leads to a YouTube videoas reported by DuckDuckGo on their blog. This browser for Mac includes a YouTube player, Duck Playerwhich protects the privacy of users when they watch a video on the Google platform, since although it counts visits, it does not collect data that allows the personalization of ads. Also use the Bitwarden password manageropen source, and supports 1Password’s universal autocomplete. The DuckDuckGo Mac Web App is already available in beta phase public so that users of Apple computers can test it before its launch, and thus access the protection tools it offers, against third-party tracking or pop-up ‘cookies’.ĭuckDuckGo for Mac is in public beta, and allows users to import things like bookmarks and passwords from the browser they are currently using.
