DuckDuckGo has developed a desktop app that features the ultimate in secure browsing. A company blog post describes it as an all-in-one privacy solution. The company’s CEO Gabriel Weinberg claims that they are looking toward the future.
“Robust privacy protection” is set as default for search, browsing, email, and more. Weinberg said the app isn’t really a “privacy browser.” It is “an everyday browsing app that respects your privacy.”
He claims DuckDuckGo is building in all the privacy protections the company already uses into the new app. It also is fast, simple, and very user-friendly in the mobile version.
DuckDuckGo improvements
DuckDuckGo has featured ads that claim, “Google tracks you, we don’t.” And that’s truer than ever.
The mobile-enabled app is in beta development. It uses OS-provided rendering engines. This is a much clearer and cleaner browser, as opposed to Chromium projects. Weinberg’s development team worked hard to “strip away a lot of the unnecessary cruft and clutter that’s accumulated over the years in major browsers.”
