So it's like the application's development is making some good progress. These features will be rolled out in the coming weeks.
The company says the Windows browser is good enough to be used as a daily driver, but also told users that DuckDuckGo for Windows does not have the Duck Player and Email Protection's autofill yet. Now, coming to the PC version, DuckDuckGo for Windows is based on WebView2 which uses the Blink rendering engine, but it's not a fork of Chromium.
The macOS app uses Safari's WebKit engine (WKWebView). It's definitely heading in the right direction, but there's still a lot of work to be done before it can graduate out of beta. That said, DuckDuckGo updates its browser regularly to fix issues, you can download the Mac version from here.
The browser natively supports Bitwarden for autofill, but this feature has some limitations compared to the password manager's extensions for Firefox and Chrome, and also requires the Mac app to be running in the background.
Duckduckgo browser for mac#
It has some built-in privacy-friendly features such as a Fire button to delete all browser cookies and tabs, an option to fireproof websites (whitelist from deletion), Email protection to mask your real email address, and more.ĭuckDuckGo's browser for Mac doesn't block the ad banners that appear in YouTube's search results, but you can use the Duck Player to watch videos without ads. I've been using it on my MacBook as a secondary browser, it's quite decent at blocking ads on web pages, but doesn't hide the place where the banners were supposed to be, so you're left with big ugly boxes here and there. You may recall that I reviewed the DuckDuckGo Mac Browser when it was announced in April last year.
