Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo has announced on its official blog that it is developing a desktop browser.
Everyday browsing app that respects privacy
DuckDuckGo announced on the 21st local time that it is developing a browser that “redefines user expectations for everyday online privacy.”
An approach will be adopted that will abandon personal privacy settings and enable privacy protection by default in search, email and general browsing.
“It’s not a’privacy browser’, it’s a daily browsing app that respects privacy, because there’s no bad time for businesses to stop spying on your search and browsing history,” the company wrote.
Initial test turns out to be faster than Chrome
Instead of forking Chromium etc., it builds desktop applications around the rendering engine provided by the OS (similar to mobile), and can eliminate unnecessary waste and confusion accumulated over many years in major browsers. It is about.
“DuckDuckGo for Desktop, with its clean and simple interface and the familiar Fire button in mobile apps, will be an essential app for your daily browsing,” DuckDuckGo concludes.
Initial tests have already found it to be significantly faster than Chrome.
It’s not clear when DuckDuckGo’s desktop browser will be released. DuckDuckGo is also known for adopting Apple Maps, which has high privacy performance by map search.
