Duck fan? You’ll be glad to find out DuckDuckGo browser It has just been updated and includes a vital feature these days, such as data synchronization between devices, in addition to a system that respects privacy and does not require the creation of accounts.

The DuckDuckGo browser was introduced almost three years ago, first as a modest exclusive application for Android, which has evolved to become more than just a web browser, but without being able to offer a full alternative to the category in which it was placed. Be that as it may, the same year saw the arrival of the PC desktop, starting with macOS.

It wasn’t until the middle of last year that the DuckDuckGo browser landed on Windows in a beta phase, which it still is in, which is not surprising, judging by the shortcomings it has compared to the competition it faces. Because it doesn’t, it doesn’t even have a Linux version, even though it’s based on Chromium.

Although this proposal doesn’t have nearly the same appeal on PC as it does on mobile, the DuckDuckGo browser is now getting a core feature in the multi-platform, multi-device world we live in: data synchronization. Specifically, as explained on the official DuckDuckGo blog, the data included in this sync is bookmarks, passwords, and email protection settings.

In terms of traffic, unlike most web browsers on the market, DuckDuckGo has decided to do it similarly to Brave, directly synchronizing data through an encrypted connection. via QR code or text, as appropriate. The option is available in its own section in the application settings.

It’s not like DuckDuckGo chooses a way to sync data by itself therefore more secure and private than other browsers they all use client-side encryption make a connection; but it bypasses the need for the user to create an account, so it saves a bit of trouble… with the nuances, because it also makes the process a bit confusing.

It is therefore very appropriate that save the recovery key offered by the browser when using the synchronization system for the first time. Just in case. Because in these highly secure systems, if you lose the password that encrypts the data, or in the case of the DuckDuckGo browser, access to the synced device, you lose access to the data.

Other new features of DuckDuckGo 0.67, the version number of the respective release, include improvements in the management of cookie notifications and the ability to pin the browser to the dashboard, which anyone can do themselves, but the rest. As you can see, there is still a way to go for 1.0; But those responsible for the most popular alternative search engine are in and now embarking on this sailing adventure.
