DuckDuckGo Windows Beta brings privacy features
The new browser comes with privacy, security, and user-friendly features. Additionally, the browser is developed by DuckDuckGo‘s engineers. While the browser does not support extensions yet, the company announced that it will add this feature in the feature. However, you shouldn’t be worried because the browser includes several features of popular extensions.
What’s coming in DuckDuckGo Windows beta?
The company announces several new features with the new browser:
- “Duck Player, a YouTube player that lets you watch YouTube videos without privacy-invading ads and keeps video views from impacting your recommendations.
- Tracker blocking that goes above and beyond what’s available from Chrome and other browsers. The 3rd-party Tracker Loading Protection, for example, blocks the hidden trackers from companies like Google and Facebook lurking on other websites before they get a chance to load.
- Smarter Encryption to ensure that more of the websites you visit and the links you click are encrypted, relative to other browsers.
- Cookie Pop-up Management, a tool that automatically selects the most private options available and hides cookie consent pop-ups.
- The Fire Button, which burns recent browsing data in one click. (There’s also a handy “Fireproof” option for any sites you want to stay logged into.)
- Email Protection, which can hide your email address with unique @duck.com addresses when signing up for things online.
- Secure password management: The browser includes the company’s own secure and easy-to-use password manager that can automatically remember and fill in login credentials.
- Ad blocking: DuckDuckGo for Windows is equipped with the company’s privacy-protecting alternative to ad blockers: the browser blocks invasive trackers before they load, effectively eliminating ads that rely on that creepy tracking.
- Duck Player, the browser’s more-private way to watch YouTube: This built-in video player protects you from tracking cookies and personalized ads with a distraction-free interface that incorporates YouTube’s strictest privacy settings for embedded video.”
