DuckDuckGo Browser is a search engine that uses a DuckDuckGo search engine algorithm. DuckDuckGo is a privacy-friendly search engine that does not track users’ searches. DuckDuckGo also has a built-in ad blocker.
DuckDuckGo has announced that its browser can now be downloaded by anyone with a Mac. While it’s still a beta (and you might not want to use it as your main browser just yet for that reason), the browser is much closer to a finished product now. And it comes with some enticing additions. For one, according to DuckDuckGo, the browser consumes 60% less data than Chrome on Mac, and it also gets rid of trackers and invasive ads before they’re able to load.
The browser also integrates with Bitwarden, giving you a privacy-first password manager that can fill in your passwords on websites and suggest random passwords when you’re signing up for new accounts. And in a new addition from the closed beta, you now also have Duck Player, a wrapper for YouTube videos that blocks ads and incorporates strict privacy settings, working as an embedded video.
If this sounds like a good replacement for your browser, you can download it from DuckDuckGo’s website. The company says a Windows version is still in early testing, and there are no plans right now to support desktop Linux.
