Every time we sign a service agreement for a new device or app, it seems like we’re giving up a little bit of our privacy. But there are companies working to restore some of that lost digital privacy.
You're using DuckDuckGo wrong!
Meet DuckDuckGo and its popular (150 million downloads) privacy-focused web browser. Previously only available for mobile users, the company has just launched a version for Mac computers, as announced via an official blog post.
Described as an “all-in-one privacy solution for everyday browsing,” DuckDuckGo’s Mac client brings a number of new privacy-enhancing tools to the table. For one, privacy features are enabled by default, with no complicated settings tabs to learn.
The browser also includes an algorithm that automatically blocks cookie pop-ups on 50 percent of sites, and the company says that number is growing. There’s also one-click data clearing, email security features, a tracker blocker and more.
