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.

    Agree. I find solace in SearXNG – https://baresearch.org

    But these past few years the search algorithms have changed to be anticonsumer and now users are using social sites to get information fast.

    In effect the Internet has taken the place of Cable News and been ruined and dumbed down.
