Introducing DuckDuckGo’s Privacy-Focused Browser for Windows
DuckDuckGo, known for its emphasis on privacy as an alternative to Google, has been diligently developing its very own browser. Following its initial open beta release for Mac last year, the DuckDuckGo browser is now launching its beta version for Windows, responding to the demand of countless users who have been eagerly awaiting its arrival.
As expected, DuckDuckGo’s search engine takes center stage in this browser. However, it also comes with a host of additional features designed to enhance user privacy. One noteworthy feature is the Duck Player, which effectively shields users from targeted ads on YouTube and prevents personalized recommendations based on user tracking. While YouTube will still count it as a new view, the browser effectively blocks any tracking mechanisms or data that could contribute to your advertising profile.
DuckDuckGo further boasts an exceptional ad-blocking experience. In addition to effectively blocking ads and cookies, the browser takes care of the lingering white space that often persists with traditional ad blockers. Users who have already experienced the Mac beta will be familiar with other features, including password management, automatic handling of cookie pop-ups, and email protection.
DuckDuckGo initially provided a sneak peek of its desktop web browser in late 2021 and later released the initial Mac beta in late 2022. Windows is the most recent platform to receive an official app. However, if you don’t use Mac or Windows, rest assured that DuckDuckGo is available as a supported search engine on Google Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox. It also offers dedicated apps for iOS and Android users.
