DuckDuckGo started out as a private search engine. Now its web browser is debuting on Macs to rival Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Brave.
, DuckDuckGo’s browser automates the process. The first time you use the app you’ll be asked if you want to let it manage the pop-ups that appear. If you give it permission to do so, it will use Javascript to automatically set the cookie preferences on each site you visit and pick the options to “maximize privacy.” What this means in practice is that you don’t see cookie pop-ups.
I've been trying the DuckDuckGo desktop app for several days, and I feel like I got fewer cookie pop-ups than usual. Using the web is much more pleasant without them. The browser currently has a minimal interface, with few buttons or icons clogging up the view. Performance appears to be relatively quick. A fire emoji button—familiar to users of DuckDuckGo’s mobile apps—allows cookies and other data to be erased with a couple of clicks.
For now, the rollout of the browser is limited. DuckDuckGo’s Mac app is being released as a beta that people can access by signing up to a, through the company’s mobile app. The beta launch means DuckDuckGo can make changes and iron out bugs before its full release. At the moment, it does feel like some common browser features are missing. There isn’t a bookmark bar for easy access to saved sites or folders, but the company says it is working on this.
DuckDuckGo’s desktop apps have been in the works for some time. Burger-Lenehan says the company has been building the Mac app for more than a year and first started private tests with members of the public in October 2021. The company’s browser for Windows is being developed simultaneously, but its production is behind the Mac version, Burger-Lenehan says, adding that it will be available “soon.”
