DuckDuckGo introduced a new data backup and syncing feature on its web browser that uses end-to-end encryption to keep the data protected.

The project announced today the introduction of a new feature called “Sync & Backup,” which allows users to import bookmarks, passwords, and personal settings from other browsers to DuckDuckGo. Moreover, it enables users to move that data from one device to another or restore it on a new device in case they lose their original device.

DuckDuckGo’s announcement declares that the new feature can do the following:

Privately sync and access the bookmarks and passwords saved in your DuckDuckGo browsers – including any you’ve imported from other browsers – across multiple devices.

Back up passwords, bookmarks, and favorites in case your device is lost or damaged.

Migrate your bookmarks and passwords to a new device.

Sync your Email Protection account between devices.

    Interesting, it’s sad that for me the search is quiet garbage and feed me with result based on my IP/location and I couldn’t find a option to change that like DDG does.

      Garbage results compared to google results? Lol. You sure you’re using SwissCows? Lol. DDG was my default before switching to SwissCows and I find SwissCows much better, personally.

      Uhg it drives me nuts when I search for some obscure programming topic and then I get links to local restaurants. That’s not what I was searching for!
