Unlike most other browsers that collect and use your data, DuckDuckGo doesn&#8217;t track your online activity or store your personal information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It blocks trackers and prevents websites from collecting your data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">You get search results that aren&#8217;t influenced by your past searches or browsing history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It has a clean, uncluttered interface that&#8217;s easy to navigate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Now let&#8217;s look at the downside of the DuckDuckGo browser<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">DuckDuckGo might not have as many features as other popular browsers. For example, you can&#8217;t customize it much, its password manager is limited, it does not allow extensions, and some websites might not work correctly, so for most of you, it won&#8217;t replace your current browser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">But the DuckDuckGo browser makes a great secondary browser for times when privacy matters the most to you and you want to search privately and without your searches being trackable or influenced by prior searches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/duckduckgo.com\/duckduckgo-help-pages\/get-duckduckgo\/get-duckduckgo-browser-on-windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">To learn more about the DuckDuckGo browser for Windows visit this page.<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The DuckDuckGo Browser for When Privacy Matters We&#8217;ve been testing the DuckDuckGo browser for about a year now and we think it&#8217;s an interesting browser, but don&#8217;t look for it to replace Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or other established browsers.
