    It’s fine. Websites break on it less often than I would have expected and the “nuke your cookies and history" button is a fun feature. I’ve mostly moved to Firefox, though, just to get away from Chromium (although I realize the irony in that; my fingerprint is almost assuredly far more unique than if I stuck to Chromium).

    I like the browser. It never seems to break anything. My father uses it also. However, I must use Firefox with its built in Enhanced Tracking Protection in strict mode specifically to prevent Chrome domination.

      It’s an internet privacy company that offers a variety of products to help protect your privacy, most notably a browser extension and it’s own private search engine.

          Based on the search results, it appears that the DuckDuckGo browser does not use Chromium. Instead, it uses Apple’s WebKit rendering system , which is the same rendering engine used by Apple’s Safari browser. DuckDuckGo has chosen to use WebKit instead of Chromium or Blink, the fork of WebKit used by Chromium-based browsers.

    It is a good browser, but wouldnt get my location on degoogled lineage so i went to fennec. I submitted an issue to the ddg github about it and the response (after 3 months) was to brush me off because it worked fine with play services. Not encouraging for sure.

    It’s the only browser I use. I like it because the only links I open are if I click a news article or something on social, and it auto-nukes history and cookies.

    I like it. I tend to use it more than Firefox recently. It seems to load most sites faster.
    Not having a bunch of tabs remain open all the time is great. FF refuses to close them no matter what setting I use, and I always forget about them so it’ll have like ten tabs in the background for no reason.
    I also dgaf about what I searched for or where I went previously, so not having a history is great.

    FF is mainly my YouTube app.
