The DuckDuckGo Browser for When Privacy Matters

The DuckDuckGo Browser for When Privacy Matters

We’ve been testing the DuckDuckGo browser for about a year now and we think it’s an interesting browser, but don’t look for it to replace Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or other established browsers. However, if you want to search and don’t want anyone to find out what you’ve been searching for, the DuckDuckGo browser is a great choice.

Search privacy doesn’t always mean you have something to hide, but some things you might be searching for are nobody’s business. For instance, health-related searches, income-related searches, or anything you would prefer that others not know.

DuckDuckGo browser is also good for searching without your searches being influenced by your prior searches.

And clearing your history & cache is as easy as clicking the flame icon at the top-right of the DuckDuckGo browser. You’ll even see your history & cache go up in flames…

Here’s what we like about the DuckDuckGo Browser

DuckDuckGo is a web browser that prioritizes user privacy and security. Unlike most other browsers that collect and use your data, DuckDuckGo doesn’t track your online activity or store your personal information.

It blocks trackers and prevents websites from collecting your data.

You get search results that aren’t influenced by your past searches or browsing history.

It has a clean, uncluttered interface that’s easy to navigate.

Now let’s look at the downside of the DuckDuckGo browser

DuckDuckGo might not have as many features as other popular browsers. For example, you can’t customize it much, its password manager is limited, it does not allow extensions, and some websites might not work correctly, so for most of you, it won’t replace your current browser.

But the DuckDuckGo browser makes a great secondary browser for times when privacy matters the most to you and you want to search privately and without your searches being trackable or influenced by prior searches.
