The first screenshot featured here shows a Fire button just like the mobile app, which provide a one-click solution to erase the browsing data and history. Since the announcement article says that the desktop browser will offer a similar experience as its mobile counterpart, we can expect these options to be included in the desktop browser, along with the Privacy Dashboard, Fireproof Site option (clears cookies automatically), Global Privacy Protection, etc. The feature blocks third-party trackers that are found in other apps. Last month, the company unveiled its App Tracking Protection for Android. The announcement on the official website says that the browser will offer robust privacy protection, that works out of the box, to protect users when they search, browse, email, etc.Įarlier this year, DuckDuckGo introduced Email Protection, a free email-forwarding service which you can use instead of your regular email, and still get the mails delivered to your inbox sans trackers, which sounds better than Firefox Relay. It won't rely on complicated settings that users will need to configure to secure their privacy. What features will the DuckDuckGo desktop browser offer to users? With over 100 million searches a day, DuckDuckGo boasts a sizeable user-base. Speaking of which, the search provider claims that its app is the most downloaded browsing app on Android in its major markets, and the 2nd on iOS. This isn't a completely new area to the company, as DuckDuckGo has a browser for Android.
