DuckDuckGo, the company best known for its privacy focused search engine of the same name, is working on a desktop browser that should bring the same focus on avoiding being tracked to your entire web experience. Gabriel Weinberg, CEO of DuckDuckGo, offered a glimpse at what the upcoming browser will look like in a post on its website.
Weinberg says that the desktop browser will offer robust privacy protection by default, without you having toggling on any hidden security settings. The desktop equivalent will come with a button that will instantly erase all of your browsing history, stored data, and tabs in one click.
Weinberg says that it will create a neater interface and get rid of anycluttering that comes with mainstream browsers. Weinberg claims that early tests of the browser show it is significantly faster than Chrome.
We're working on it.

The browser is currently in a closed alpha test on macOS, but Weinberg suggests that DuckDuckGo is getting it ready for Windows as well. There is no word on when the desktop browser will be made public.
DuckDuckGo introduced a built-in tool for its mobile browsing app that is supposed to prevent apps from tracking users. In July, the company introduced an email protection service that will remove any trackers from your emails.
